Hemming Vote 2022

Hemming Shares Why You Should Vote

If you haven't already noticed, we are in voting season.  I love the energy of this time of year, though the barrage of advertisements, signs and frantic news coverage always threatens to temper that enthusiasm. Overall, extended early voting dates and times are fantastic for participation and good for our patients.  Numerous health-related decisions at every level of government will hinge on this year's election outcomes.  Our participation as health care providers is essential.
