Hospital Damaged By Tornado Needs Your Help

A tornado ripped through Americus, Georgia on March 1st, nearly destroying Sumter Regional Hospital. The community, and its hospital, are rebuilding. But these things take time and money. They also take the help of average folks like all of us. There's one way we can all help the hospital, and in turn, help the people of Americus.

Medical equipment manufacturer Seimans is having a contest to give away a $1 million MRI machine to one hospital in the U.S. The hospital must come up with a video spotlighting their need. The videos are voted on, with the winner receiving the MRI machine. There have been many videos submitted. Some are silly, some are business-like, but none are as touching as the story of the tornado that tore apart Americus.

To help steer the vote in their favor, all you have to do is go to this web site and vote. Select the video for Sumter Regional Hospital, let it play, and after it's done click on the VOTE button. You can vote once a day, through December 31st. And please encourage others to help out.
