Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Proposition 1 on the City’s ballot October 2nd is one of the most important decisions the citizens of Wrangell will make for its future. Currently, Wrangell’s hospital and many independent hospitals like it are struggling to stay open because of many reasons. With a yes vote, not only will Wrangell’s hospital be more financially viable, it will also lead to a new hospital which is desperately needed. SEARHC has more resources available and based on the success of AICS with their relationship with SEARHC, the hospital should be able to continue to provide quality health care for years to come. The hospital is a huge economic driver in the community and without a hospital here, Wrangell would again take a big step backwards like it did when the mill closed. You have the power to bring this health and economic opportunity to Wrangell and we urge you to vote yes on proposition 1.

Jeff and Kay Jabusch
