Olney Hamilton Hospital (OHH) representatives are excited to move forward in 2021 now that the residents have supported the tax cap initiative on the recent ballot. OHH administrator praised the widespread community support that will “keep the hospital healthy for another 100 years, help to fund patient care, and ensure future access to capital.”
“We are excited about the completion of our EMS Dorm, ambulance bays, an additional physician office, exam rooms, and a storage building [for] construction projects,” said Dale Lovett, OHH board president.
OHH CEO Mike Huff explains that although they are excited about the level of community support received for the initiative, the tax cap increase is not a quick fix but part of a long-term piece in a complex puzzle. He said the support received is indicative of the importance of having a thriving hospital in the community.
