Some things are better left unsaid
About staff writer Tyler Jett’s Dec. 2 article about CHI Memorial acquiring Cornerstone Hospital in North Georgia:
Jett writes, “With 66,000 residents Catoosa County has about the same amount of people as Walker County. However, the area has more affluent residents. According to U.S. Census data, about 23 percent of households in Catoosa County make $100,000 or more a year. In Walker County that rate is only 11 percent.”
I don’t believe this U.S. Census is correct or may be misquoted as some of Walker County includes Lookout Mountain, Ga. Sometimes certain things do not need to be said; that statement could have been left out.
Most of the people in Walker and Catoosa counties are so glad CHI Memorial will be our new hospital.
