My family recently had occasion to use the medical facilities of Our Lady of Belfonte Hospital.

I would like to commend the staff for their professional care, but more importantly I would like to thank several Ironton residents who work at the hospital — Dr. Lauren Triplett-Schweickart, Lisa Massey, and Kathy Riley were especially helpful in expediting some diagnostic test and insuring that my husband received the utmost care.

It is very reassuring knowing that when emergencies may arise you can depend on those from your hometown to be there. The paramedics from SEOMS deserve mention for their prompt and professional services.
