Guest Speakers
This writer introduced Community Affairs Dir. Christopher Boothby,
Lakes Region General Hospital, to the club. He points out that
over the last 5 years the government has contributed less than
$22 million to the hospital. Endowments and block grants have
helped make up for some of the shortfall. What also has helped
is the Franklin Hospital being designated an area critical access
facility, management efficiency, and increased philanthropic
help. Michael Cosgrove, LNA, is a nursing school student who
pointed out that due to clinical staff shortages, it is even
more necessary to train and retain nurses. As a side note, the
hospital sees over 65,000 people a year. For more information
