Chamber members gathered at The Hospital Sidney on February 24th to see the newly renovated maternity ward featured during the February Business After Hours Event. Displayed above are some of the many personalized tiles which funded the project. Small tiles were sold for $100 each, and large tiles were $1,000 each.

"Many of the tiles were actually purchased from hospital employees," stated Russ Test, Administrator of The Hospital, "This shows their dedication and commitement to the project." He noted that there is still time to purchase a tile, however space is becoming very limited.

In the picture shown to the left, medical equipment is actually hidden behind the framed picture on the wall. The bed displayed will transform into a fully functional delivery bed, eliminating the need to change beds during labor. While seemingly simple, this bed has a bears a hefty price tag at $10,000. Rooms also feature a full bathroom complete with a whirlpool.
