 At Pikeville Medical Center, we provide full service cancer treatment and follow-up care. And our loss in cancer center is one of only a few in Kentucky to hold accreditation from the Commission on Cancer with accommodations. Our purpose is saving lives. The Pike County Senior Center, which has been closed since 2019 due to structural issues, has awarded the bid to begin construction on a new center. At the last fiscal court meeting, the court awarded the bid for the Pikeville Senior Citizen Center to Elliot Contracting, a local construction company. We're planning on breaking ground on the project on December 1st. The project is funded in part with cold service tax money, but the primary funding source is a $1.5 million grant that Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Department of Local Government helped us secure. The center will feature a commercial kitchen and a large gathering area. The center will give residents a new place to join, connect, and enjoy a warm meal. Well, a lot of people had questions about, well, other centers had shut down. Why are you building a new center? Well, when the senior citizens board, which is not part of the fiscal court, came to us, it was very apparent what would happen if the Pikeville Senior Citizen Center shut down. Most all the money for the senior citizens program is federal money and it's based on attendance. The most heavily attended center is the Pikeville Senior Citizen Center. So if that center doesn't reopen, then it would result in the Pike County Senior Citizen Center losing federal funds. Detentive ground breaking for the new senior center is set for December 1st.
