Kudos to Lind Health Center for reopening Lind Medical Clinic

Congratulations to the Lind Health Center Board for its collaborative approach, continuing support and efforts to re-open the Lind Medical Clinic. These unselfish individuals recognized the need for a clinic in Lind and did what it took to make it happen … and the community is the winner!

During these current times of partisan politics, this board should be applauded for coming together, recognizing the need for a medical clinic, and working toward making it a reality. During these times of putting profits before people, this board should be held as a gold standard for doing what is needed and what is right, without thought to individual contribution or sacrifice.

I have always believed the absolute value of having local medical providers who know our communities and are committed to providing us with quality health care. The value that Dr. Sackmann and Dr. Eckley bring to our communities is tremendous. The Lind Health Center Board recognized their contributions and worked to a solution that would continue their delivery of quality medical services in Lind.

I’d like to add my personal thanks to the board and all individuals who made this community need a reality. During these difficult, challenging times, you are a shining example of what can be done when people work together to improve community and make it happen.
