In September, Jennie Stuart Health officials announced they signed a letter of intent to possibly merge with Deaconess Health. Since then, a group, 'Save Jennie Stuart' has formed and is urging the Jennie Stuart Board of Trustees to pause and reconsider the merger. Save Jennie Stuart says they do not believe Deaconess, based in Evansville, Indiana, is a good fit for the community. They express that affiliating with Evansville for core medical needs does not match the long-term growth patterns and future direction of the community.
