Good morning, Meigs County. Homecomings often carry special significance, and that's certainly true for Justin Turner, who's returning to his roots as the new CEO of Logan Regional Medical Center after leading impressive initiatives at Rivers Health. His departure marks a transition for the Point Pleasant facility, which will operate under interim leadership while searching for its next visionary. The move highlights how talent often circulates within our regional healthcare ecosystem, ultimately strengthening medical services across Appalachia.
Meanwhile, natural beauty captures attention at Veto Lake, where Grace Johnson's striking dragonfly photograph showcases the delicate wonders that surround us daily. This celebration of local scenery coincides with the opening of grant applications for The PM Company's Spirit of Giving program, which has already pumped nearly $916,000 into community nonprofits. With the Harmar Days Festival kicking off this weekend, summer in the Mid-Ohio Valley continues to blend community celebration with meaningful support for those who need it most.
