The Sutton County Hospital District would like to thank all vendors, the school, and community members who helped make this year’s two Health Fairs both GREAT successes. All staff really enjoyed meeting students on their home turf and working to meet needs specific to young people. We also appreciated having time with the community, and we loved hearing that some of our friends and neighbors discovered new resources while at the fair. For those that got their flu shot, don’t you agree that Tonie and her LMH kitchen staff make an awesome chicken salad? And the drinks that the Sonora High School Brew Crew provided were the perfect finish to a great day. Thank you to every person who made it possible. Thank you all for participating!

Every Wednesday during Breast Cancer Awareness month, the family at LMH proudly sports our PINK in support of our many community members and colleagues who are breast cancer survivors or are currently battling breast cancer.

We hope to raise awareness of the importance of early screenings and regular mammograms. Our incredibly well-equipped radiology department stands ready to help get your mammogram done!

Let’s all join together in the fight against breast cancer. Please encourage family members to get regular screenings & mammograms. And join us in wearing pink on Wednesdays.

Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement: How to Choose Wisely in a Rural Area
My general advice: If you live in a rural area, see specialists far from home, or want the freedom to use doctors across different parts of the country, Original Medicare plus a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) is often the safer choice — if you can afford the premiums.
Medicare Advantage can be a better value if you have good local in-network providers, want lower monthly premiums, and are comfortable with network restrictions and prior authorizations.
The biggest mistake is choosing based only on the monthly premium. In a rural area, access to the right hospital, specialists, and emergency follow-up care can matter more than saving money each month.
1. Compare the two options

Option A: Original Medicare + Medigap
Often best for flexibility
• See any provider nationwide who accepts Medicare, without a Medicare Advantage network.
• Usually easier to access specialists in larger cities.
• Medigap helps pay certain deductibles and coinsurance.
• A separate Part D plan is generally needed for prescriptions.
• Higher monthly premiums, but more predictable costs with a suitable supplement.

Option B: Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Often best for lower premiums
• Many plans have a $0 additional monthly plan premium, though you still pay your Part B premium.
• Often includes Part D drug coverage and may offer dental, vision, or hearing benefits.
• Usually uses provider networks, especially HMO plans.
• May require referrals or prior authorization for some services.
• Has an annual limit on covered in-network Part A and B medical out-of-pocket spending, but costs can be substantial before reaching it.
One important distinction: Medigap is not a replacement for Medicare Advantage, and you generally cannot use Medigap to pay Medicare Advantage copays. You choose either Original Medicare with optional Medigap, or a Medicare Advantage plan.
