8 Aerial Photographs of the New Hospital
November 3, 2009
Recently, our aerial photographer got the chance to shoot the new Sherman Hospital as the sun was setting. The coming darkness brought out the interior lighting of the hospital, which gave it a new look that we hadn’t seen before. The shots turned out great, so we wanted to share them with you!
The new hospital opens on December 15th, just six short weeks from now. Be on the lookout for details on the December 6th Community Open House Celebration, in which we’ll celebrate the new hospital with food & drink and public tours.
