Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA) is helping in the effort to secure a key designation for Keokuk Area Hospital.
He sent a two-page letter, earlier this week, to the Acting Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In it, the Congressman wrote of his support for the hospital’s appeal of the agency’s denial of Critical Access status for the facility.
CEO Wally Winkler says receiving that designation would help the hospital through some very difficult financial times.
