They do not have air (conditioning) in the building, so we thought a cool treat might brighten their day and let them know we are thinking about them,” said Tammy Allison, MRH vice president of community relations. She related the hospital staff transported 650 popsicles and a cooler from the hospital’s warehouse to the school. Temperatures this week have reached as high as 90 degrees.
