I came to Idaho 74 years ago. My two sons were both born [at Power County Hospital] which at that time, was Schiltz Memorial. I have been a patient there many times. Also, my husband, who was in the nursing home for four years, had the best of care, of which I will be forever thankful. It's a good hospital and is improving its facilities to keep up. Thank you Power County Hospital District! We need to keep up with all of the new things we are hearing about that will help patients recover faster. Anonymous (repeat donor)
