Whitney Jones, Candidate
Hemphill County Hospital Board of Directors

It has been my honor to serve the good people of Hemphill County, and I'm looking forward to continuing this important work as a member of the Hospital District Board of Directors.

Thoughtful Communication is something I value. If elected, I'll continue to listen to constructive ideas about our healthcare while ensuring board decisions are explained clearly. I believe in respectful dialogue that moves us forward  as a community.

Our Local Hospital is a blessing we shouldn't take for granted. In a place like ours, having healthcare close to home isn't just convenient—it's essential. When minutes matter in an emergency, or when the weather turns bad, knowing we have good care right here in our community makes all the difference.

Growing to Serve You Better is something I care deeply about. I believe we can thoughtfully expand our services so that the drive to Amarillo becomes less necessary for our friends and neighbors. I'll work toward:

• Bringing in medical technologies that make sense for our community

• Finding good doctors and nurses who understand rural life

• Offering specialized care that saves you time and travel

Small Town Values are at the heart of everything I do. I understand what makes our community special. I've taken the time to visit with folks around town and the hospital staff about what matters to them. If elected, my door will always be open for those conversations to continue.

I believe our hospital can shine as an example of excellent rural healthcare while staying true to who we are. With your trust, I'll help build a healthier future for all of us here in Hemphill County.

Thank you for your consideration.
