LVHN should build their hospital in Palmerton. There are a lot of people here who think we were shortchanged by St. Luke’s when they closed the Palmerton Hospital one year after they bought it.

Palmerton is as close as the Mahoning Valley from the turnpike if they are concerned about the drive for doctors.

St. Luke’s Urgent Care isn’t going to be much help if someone is having a heart attack or stroke.

People are going to die waiting for an ambulance to get them to Lehighton.

We have a nice big field right off 248 for them to build on, and we would welcome LVHN.
