On April 24, Congressman Mike Bost visited Hamilton Memorial Hospital District (HMHD) in McLeansboro, IL. The visit provided an opportunity for Congressman Bost to engage with hospital leadership and members of the board of directors.

"We were grateful to have Congressman Bost visit and engage in meaningful discussions about healthcare in our very rural areas of Southern Illinois," stated Victoria Woodrow, CEO of Hamilton Memorial Hospital District. "This visit was an important opportunity for us to share our rural story—the patients we serve and the challenges we face."

Hamilton Memorial Hospital District serves as a critical healthcare provider for Hamilton and White Counties, offering essential medical services to over 14,000 rural residents.

The visit by Congressman Bost underscored the importance of continued federal support and collaboration to ensure rural hospitals remain effective in addressing the needs of their communities.
