This week, my staff had the distinct honor of attending a dedication ceremony celebrating expansions and renovations at Roane General Hospital. The improvements were made possible by a strong partnership between the federal and state government, county and city officials, and the hospital itself. The celebration was a testament to what we in the Mountain State are known for – working together to move our state forward. I truly appreciate the efforts of the CEO Doug Bentz, Roane General administrators, board members, physicians, employees, and friends for providing excellent care and friendly service for so many years, and for ensuring a healthier tomorrow for the region.

The citizens of Braxton County recently celebrated new monuments dedicated to the veterans of Burnsville and the Salt Lick District from World War I to present, and all of our nation’s heroes. As a statewide community, let us never forget the sacrifices made by the men and women who have come before us, the remarkable individuals who served our nation so bravely. I thank all the Veterans and family members for the sacrifices they have made to preserve the freedoms we hold dear – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
