COOL...IN 40'S.     REST OF WEEK WILL BE EVEN BETTER.

A HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN DONE IN MAQUOKETA AND THE
HOSPITAL BOARD TODAY WAS GIVEN A PRESENTATION ON THE NEEDS AND APPROVED A PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.     THIS BOARD ACTION TODAY WAS NEEDED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT.    NOW, EVERY THREE YEARS, A HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT
