Congressman Dave Loebsack made a return visit to Pella Regional Health Center to meet with CEO Bob Kroese Tuesday afternoon. In an hour-long meeting, Loebsack and Kroese discussed the issues most critical to rural hospitals, not only in Pella, but those struggling across the state. Loebsack says several issues are facing hospitals in small towns, and there are several ways the Federal Government could come in to support those facilities. Loebsack also spoke about broadband internet accessibility, federal budget negotiations, and what bipartisan projects are ongoing in the U.S. House.
