Connie Fagot’
Connie Fagot’ and her husband had planned to retire and travel this spring. That all changed when Ray had a stroke in December following surgery and died four days later. As she worked through the details of her husbands death and began pondering her future, Connie developed some cardiac problems. She decided it was time to retire and move from Lexington to be near a son in Dallas or her daughter in Ord. Connie mentioned this to her family physician since she was worried about her health. He told her that Valley County Health System in Ord was a great hospital with a wonderful cardiac rehab program. That was exactly what Connie needed to hear to make her feel more at ease about moving to Ord. “It was reassuring to know that a small-town hospital could provide the same specialty services that I would find in a large city.”
