Wishing our community a healthy and restful Thanksgiving Day!🦃🍁

“Today, we celebrate National Rural Health Day! This day was designated to celebrate all the folks like you who provide great care, both inpatient and outpatient, as well as support to our caregivers, in one of the small towns across America, like Salem, Illinois. Health care in rural areas like ours has been steadily reducing over the last 20 years, unfortunately, due to economic and other factors. The great news is that many service areas can still offer high-quality care close to home, like we do here. It is so important that everyone in our country, whether urban, suburban, or rural, receives great care and knows that it will be available to them in the future. We aren’t going anywhere, and we support our fellow rural health providers in their mission as well.” – James Timpe, CEO, Salem Township Hospital.
