Dallas Franklin — a local business owner, father, and committed member of our community — sees a strong hospital in Calhoun County as a critical element to sustain both our families and our local economy. From industrial growth to quality of life, Franklin explains how healthcare access underpins nearly every aspect of a thriving community.
“A lot of the industry that’s coming in here, one of the first things they look at is, do we offer strong health care? Is there a place that we can send our employees to? What does our emergency response look like?”
Franklin has served on the hospital board and has seen firsthand how challenging it can be to fund essential services without a dedicated revenue source. As he points out, investing in our local hospital means securing jobs, stabilizing property values, and ensuring that we have emergency services within reach when we need them most.
