Kerr County proclaims July 3 as 'Peterson Health Appreciation Day'

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the July 3, 1949, opening of Sid Peterson Memorial Hospital in the community and its growth and success over the subsequent years as it has cared for our citizens, the Kerr County Commissioners' Court adopted a resolution proclaiming July 3 as "Peterson Health Appreciation Day."

The proclamation was unanimously adopted during Monday morning's regular commissioners' court session.

The resolution, read to those in attendance, states:
