As Humboldt County Memorial Hospital (HCMH) enters a new decade and prepares for its 50th anniversary in 2020, a sweeping testament to the growing need for health care services is evidenced by the 40,000 square foot, two-story addition to the east of the existing hospital.
Primary construction work on the new addition will be completed this Friday, July 26. That will be moving day, and the new UnityPoint Clinic — Family Medicine on the ground floor of the new addition, will begin seeing patients on Monday, July 29 at 8 a.m.
HCMH Chief Executive Officer Michelle Sleiter said she is excited about serving patients in the new space and the additional and improved services it will provide.

Animal Shelter Board votes to end relationship with Hansen

The Humboldt Community Animal Shelter Board unanimously agreed to terminate its relationship with Hansen Monday night. This photo was taken in November 2018. Humboldt Independent file photo.

Eleven of the 13-member Humboldt Community Animal Shelter Board met Monday evening with a hard decision to make.
Whether to try to continue with Merri Hansen as the shelter director, or to move forward without her involvement.
There was much controversy surrounding Hansen and the animal shelter after an article in the Fort Dodge Messenger last week and numerous social media posts, some attacking volunteer members of the non-profit board personally.
Particularly unflattering attacks were reserved for Humboldt City Administrator Travis Goedken and Humboldt County District 5 Supervisor Dave Lee of Dakota City.
“As president, we set up this board to try to work with people in the community to get a shelter for animals. I hope this is just a bump in the road [to that end] and not a personal attack of individuals,” said Michelle Erickson of rural Hardy, who operates 4 Paws Inn, an animal boarding and grooming business.
