The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Dear Editor,

We are writing to urge your support of the upcoming levy for the important work of the Columbia County Public Hospital District. When one of your residents is in need of emergency or specialty care, they frequently end up in one of our hospitals. It is the initial response and coordinated treatment they receive in Dayton that is crucial to their recovery.

Providence St. Mary and Kadlec have worked very closely with the health professionals in your community to make sure your residents receive the best care possible. Supporting this levy will ensure the vital services available in Dayton continue to be available in the coming years.

Thank you.
