To Christy- Is this the place to post that comment? How silly....most companies switch their insurance coverage every year or few years. Be glad you have insurance and be happy your company is trying to save you money..in the long run if they buy ins. that cost them more money it will cost you more money..DUH

This is good news for Spfld. I have had numerous family members treated poorly at the old Community Hospital and Mercy. If you have a surgical procedure to schedule and your ins is covered by Ohio Valley Medical Center..go to this new facilty in Spfld. Great care, extremely clean and not overcrowded. They really care about there patients and their families.
