(Le Mars) — Officials from Floyd Valley Healthcare were in Des Moines this week visiting with state legislators about issues of concern for small and mid-size hospitals. Floyd Valley’s CEO and Administrator Dustin Wright and Floyd Valley Healthcare Trustee and former House Representative Ralph Klemme of Le Mars lobbied state legislators about medical reimbursements.
The two hospital officials met with State Representative Dr. Tom Jeneary, who represents House District 5 which comprises of most of Plymouth County and the northern tier of Woodbury County. Wright says Representative Jeneary is supportive of Floyd Valley Healthcare.
Wright says one topic that was brought up for discussion is the
classification of emergency ambulance services for rural areas as a state-wide public essential service.
The Floyd Valley officials were in Des Moines as part of the Iowa Hospitals Association’s Day at the Capital.
