suddenly, it takes on enormous
importance. To the one vfho is
sick or injured, the hospital be
comes the most important build

hope of recovery, of regaining
something he had always taken
for granted . . . his health. Visit
Palmer's hospital on May 6, and
learn more about its services to
you, your family and your com
munity.
