Voters in Henry County have approved an expanded lease agreement between Henry County Health Center (HCHC) in Mount Pleasant and Great River Health (GRH) based in West Burlington.
In a special election Tuesday, yes votes for the measure were 1,236 while no votes were 850, making for 59% approval of the 2,092 ballots cast. That gives GRH the greenlight to lease HCHC’s facilities and assets, and will operate the health center starting July 1, a move expected to provide financial stability to HCHC, a Critical Access Hospital, and will ensure health care continues to be managed locally.
HCHC Board of Trustees Chairman Kent Severson says they are thrilled residents have voted to secure the future of local health care. He also notes HCHC is celebrating its 100th year serving the county and they can welcome that milestone while ensuring quality health care stays close to home for years to come.

One person was injured in a two-vehicle wreck just north of Olds Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, a 2006 Chevy Colorado driven by 39-year-old Victor Elias Rodriquez of Mount Pleasant collided with a 2014 Ford F-150 driven by 45-year-old Charles Anderson of Washington at about 1:45 pm in the southbound lanes of Highway 218 near the Henry-Washington county line.
The collision occurred when the front of the Rodriquez vehicle struck the rear of the Anderson vehicle. No charges have been filed and the collision is still under investigation. An unidentified passenger in the Rodriquez vehicle was treated for injuries and transported to the Henry County Health Center.
