I am so disappointed to see these letters accusing any administrators, doctors, nurses, or staff of hidden motives especially to say that we do not need Mr. Graham's kind in our town. I wonder if this writer has ever met Mr. Graham, or spent any time talking to him?

I have and it is Mr. Graham's help that has made it possible for my severely ill son to get some help. It is because of his comfort and his guidance that I have known where to go and what I could do to help him.

I have spent time professionally and personally with Mr. Graham and some of the doctors in this town. I first came to this community and I was unable to get a doctor to see me. I turned to Mr. Graham and he took the time to help make the connections necessary to allow me to be seen. It took almost a year of calling the clinic myself with no movement until Mr. Graham got involved. I've never had a follow up call from the doctor, but I have from Mr. Graham. I have had Mr. Graham call to find out if my son who was in the emergency room the night before was doing alright.

I want our hospital to succeed, with personal and family health problems I want doctors and nurses who are well trained and care about their patients.

I also know that a hospital is a business and must be administered. We cannot force doctors to come move here, as we all should well know. If a doctor is looking at an open position and sees backbiting and letters to the paper, they are likely to turn and run. I know I would.
