MURRAY â Probably no one was surprised Thursday when it came to the annual City/County Meeting of Murray-Calloway County Hospital and the main topic of discussion.
With the COVID-19 pandemic having brought fear and uncertainty to not just citizens but especially health care facilities this year, the coronavirus was certain to have a large place in this meeting with the members of the Murray City Council and Calloway County Fiscal Court. The hospitalâs role in combatting the virus has been extensive since it arrived in March, but hospital CEO Jerry Penner said that pace has exploded since about August when the number of patients began increasing dramatically.
