Building 5 has a total of 20 total units. The building doesn't have utilities, and an assessment of damage is being performed to see how many of those residents will be displaced, according to fire officials. Property management is on-site with the Red Cross coordinating those efforts

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
