Cabinet Peaks Ribbon Cutting
Amid falling snowflakes at noon Friday, Cabinet Peaks Medical Center was formally dedicated during a Libby Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored ribbon-cutting.
Cabinet Peaks Board Chairman Steve Sorensen cut the ribbon after a brief ceremony in which he called the decision to proceed with plans to build the new 77,000-square-foot medical center the hardest but best decision he’s made while serving on the board.
About 60 people attended the ribbon-cutting the day after the medical center opened and made St. John’s Lutheran Hospital obsolete.
The ceremony included a words of thanks from CEO Bruce Whitfield and a prayer led by Cabinet Peaks Chaplain Stump Heiselman.
Cabinet Peaks Medical Center is a $35 million state-of-the-art medical center that replaces St. John’s Lutheran Hospital, which was completed in 1952.
The St. John’s building will be used for offices.
