I am a lifetime Cedar County resident and if you are a registered voter in Cedar County I urge you to vot yes on Aug. 6 to save our hospital.

I feel it is vital to have a rural hospital and County Health Department to meet the healthcare needs of our communities. It not only meets our physical need, but our economic needs as well.

The hospital employs over 120 people, is one of the largest employers in Cedar County and money is circulated back into our local communities. It provides many services that otherwise we would travel to receive. In an emergency every second counts. We cannot afford to lose our hospital because you cannot put a price on saving lives.

Please vote yes on Aug. 6 to save our hospital. Every vote counts.

God bless,

Lyle Bland
