Mayo and Northern Light Merger
Protect our medical services. Protect our community.
Why is this important?
The merger between Mayo Regional Hospital and Northern Lights (EMMC) will be put to the vote this month. With $9M in debt with no letup in sight due to healthcare laws and practices, we may be strapped with an enormous tax bill and no hospital in the not-too-distant future.
We all know what it's like to lose a mill, and losing the hospital will have an even bigger impact on our community and local economy. Doctors and families will leave, jobs will be lost, property values will drop, and our surrounding businesses will suffer. Taxes will increase and our local economy will take a big hit. Voting yes means Northern Light will assume our debt, keep our hospital open and improve healthcare services to members of our community. For the sake of our collective health, please vote for the merger and include your name to our list.
