Secretary visits Riddle Center, Broughton

Secretary Wos toured the J. Iverson Riddle Developmental Center last month where she met with leadership. She and Carol Steckel, state Medicaid director, spoke with Dr. William Heeth, left, a primary care physician for residents at the center, and Fred R. Hinze, a licensed psychological associate who has provided psychology services at the center since 1975. The secretary also spent time nearby with leaders at Broughton Hospital where a replacement building is under construction. Barring further weather delays, the new hospital is expected to be completed by December 2014.
