From Arnot Health Effective March 31, Arnot Health’s Canton office operations will be consolidated at our nearby Troy facility, located at 45 Mud Creek Road. Dr. John Kirkowski, who has provided primary care to patients in the Canton/Troy area since 1976, will no longer be seeing patients as of that date. We thank the area residents who have put their trust in Dr. Kirkowski and Arnot Health, and wish to assure them of our commitment to providing excellent care coverage for all his patients into the future.
All members of the greater Canton area are encouraged to come to the Rialto Theater at noon on March 14 to attend a meeting concerning the closing of Arnot Health's Canton facility.
Attendees will be given the opportunity to speak about the impact of the closing on the community, the medical staffing and of patient needs. In addition, anyone can address the audience with stories of the care that they received over Dr. Kirkowski's 40 years of service. Please invite a friend to attend and help us make this a tribute to a caring and dedicated doctor. Some may remember that Canton High School was involved with Lincoln Christ’s School (Lincoln, England) in a music exchange program, which came to an end in 2000.
This is the 25th Anniversary of that program’s inception and Mr. Chris Williams (retired Deputy Head of School at Lincoln – 21 year tenure) is engaged in developing a written record of this exchange for the school’s archives. The Canton Area Chamber of Commerce regularly holds its meetings at noon but many members are not able to attend meetings during that time of the day, so the Chamber decided to try an 8:30 am meeting, and it drew several members who haven't been able to attend at noon. Shown are (front row) Kim Brown of Kim's Salon; Colleen Ritts of Stull's Flowers, Jennifer Thomas of KC101. (rear) Dustin and Jackie Harper of IHS Pizza and Sandwiches; Chamber President Eric Schoonover; and Jim MacDonald of the Warrior Lounge. The Book Share group meets on the first Tuesday every other month at the Green Free Library in Canton. Participants discuss some of the books they have read since the last meeting.
