Olive Branch Hospital Becoming a Reality

Dear Friends,

A dream isn’t a dream if it comes true.  Our community has worked for over 10 years to get a hospital for Olive Branch.  That day has finally arrived!  Methodist Le Bonheur received regulatory clearance to build a 100 bed hospital in Desoto County.  I want to personally thank everyone involved that has helped over the years to make this important issue become a reality.  We fought the good fight, we finished the race, we kept the faith.

The past few days have been thrilling and exciting to say the least.  Thanks again for believing that this dream could one day come true.

Best,
Merle
