About five years ago, I was asked whether or not I had an interest in moving back to the Luverne community after having been away for 7-8 years. The decision was not a difficult one and we returned to the community we had come to appreciate so deeply with our previous experience.As chairman of the recent Partnership Campaign for fund-raising in connection with our new hospital and clinic, I find yet another reason to take pride in being called a citizen of Luverne. Our community has displayed extraordinary vision and generosity in responding to the request for financial participation in this cause. These investments in the future of our community will pay unbelievable dividends for all the generations of current and future citizens. I find it difficult to adequately express my gratitude for those who chose to participate in the fund-raising directly, those who worked behind the scenes, and certainly, the 500 plus families and businesses who gave so generously to make our goal a reality. We are blest as a community and as this dream becomes reality in the coming months, our blessings will grow in even greater opportunities for expanded physical health care and economic good health.Take the opportunity to pat yourselves on the back, for once again, you’ve recognized the vision, stepped up to the plate, and made it happen. Congratulations!Greg BurgerChairman, Partnership Campaign CommitteeBoard Member Luverne Community Health Care Foundation.
