FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital invites the community to its second public forum, set for 5-6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25, in the Bass Room at 111 Franklin Health Commons.
The forum will include an overview of the Critical Access Hospital (CAH) and what it means for Franklin, where it is in the application process, followed by a question and answer session for the audience, according to a news release from the hospital.
The hospital announced its plans to pursue a CAH designation earlier this year after a change in regulatory policy expanded eligibility. Since the initial announcement, President Barbara Sergio has presented at several select board meetings across Franklin County and beyond to discuss the benefits of the proposed transition to CAH.
At Monday’s public forum, the hospital will offer another opportunity for community members to learn more about CAH and have their questions answered.
For more information, call 207-779-2555.
