Hickman Community Hospital, a member of Saint Thomas Health Services, is one of Hickman County’s community assets. In the process of expanding its physical plant and services, including emergency room facilities, Hickman Community Hospital provides chest pain, rehabilitation, and other health services at a level rarely seen in a rural community. Health services is an important asset in economic development in that our business and industry community minimize worker compensation costs and have a healthier labor force. And as a guy in his forties fast approaching fifty, having a quality emergency room in the middle of town… well, it is hard to put an economic value on that.
… it’s probably here somewhere
