Rural towns push to attract physicians to Royalton and Hurst
Royalton and Hurst officials intensify efforts to recruit doctors for resident care. Royalton seeks an Ireland‑based physician who will view a rental office Friday night, while Hurst leaders contact doctors willing to relocate to Southern Illinois. Royalton has lacked a full‑time physician since 1959 and offered rent‑free space previously. Hurst lost Dr. Binson in 1971 and now renovates his former office for potential use.
