Books donated to hospital

Van Wert County Hospital recently received a very generous donation of children’s books for the Pediatrics Unit from Robin Kraner and her daughter, Hannah. Hannah has a medical condition that requires her to spend time at Dayton Children’s Hospital. Robin and Hannah, with financial assistance from Stoneco Inc., Robin’s employer, were able to gather more than 500 books to be donated to the hospitals. Van Wert County Hospital is very appreciative of the donation. No child wants to be in the hospital, but these books will help make the stay a little more comfortable.
