Daily Bread for 11.10.23: Edgerton Hospital Brings a New Clinic to Whitewater

 Good morning.

Friday in Whitewater will be partly cloudy with a high of 43. Sunrise is 6:41 and sunset 4:36 for 9h 54m 59s of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 7.8% of its visible disk illuminated.

  On this day in 1871, Henry Morton Stanley locates missing explorer and missionary, David Livingstone in Ujiji, near Lake Tanganyika, famously greeting him with the words, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”


Each day, all around us, thousands work in ways that sustain or advance this community. Some efforts are small, some large, yet each and all are useful to this city. 

A new clinic, on the east side of town, offering family practice, psychiatry and behavioral health, and laboratory services for Whitewater, will meet a vital need. 

Embedded above are photos from the Wednesday, 11.8.23 ribbon-cutting ceremony.  

Welcome to Whitewater, and best wishes for a thriving practice.
