When local journalist Brian Alexander was looking for the focus of his latest book “The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town.,” the answer came easy: Bryan, Ohio.
“When I reported a story about rural hospitals for The Atlantic, I spoke to Phil Ennen, CEO of Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers, or CHWC,” said the award-wining author. “After the story came out, Phil asked me to come to Bryan, talk to some people and have a look at the hospital.
“During my visit, I realized that by using the lens of one small hospital in one small town, I could say some things not only about American medical care, but about America in general. Though every place is a little different, CHWC and Bryan are avatars for the whole country.”
