Slaton to Campaign for Mercy Hospital Save
Slaton residents launch a Save Our Hospital drive to raise about $20,000 this week to keep Mercy Hospital open amid finances and usage concerns. Officials note a 52 percent occupancy, rising costs, and competition from Lubbock facilities as they warn closure could hinder growth and emergency access for Slaton’s 6,400 residents.
