Honorary Chair,
Healthcare Foundation Steering Committee
If anyone knows Texas County, its people and its animals, Dr. IC Keeney, does. He’s lived in Texas County his whole life, and he spent 56 of those years in the county’s hills and hollows practicing veterinary medicine on animals large and small.
Even this veterinarian knows the importance of a hospital in rural America.“Anybody that comes to the area looking to live here asks about two things—hospital and schools,” Dr. Keeney said.“Having a hospital in the community provides more industry for the community and better teachers for our schools.”“We need to do whatever we can to improve our hospital,” Dr. Keeney said.“The better our hospital is, the more services can be provided and the better doctors we will have.And the doctors will stay longer, too.”
All of Dr. and Mrs. Keeney’s children were born at TCMH, and they are long-time supporters of the TCMH Hospice of Care. “We need this hospital in our community,” Dr. Keeney said. “It’s one of the best hospitals in the region.”
