10 Years Ago This Week - 2009 A Tropical Sno stand should soon be located at the corner of Eighth Street and G Avenue in Grundy Center. The city council unanimously approved a one-year merchant’s license to Susan Clark of Marshalltown. The sno cone stand will be managed by Steve Faust of Grundy Center. Council members mentioned parking and cleanliness as possible concerns, but the license was approved without much discussion. Recently, Iowa Heath System announced the Launch of Health- Net connect. HealthNet connect is a 3,200-mile fiber optic network that will transform the way patients receive health care and how medical information is shared among health-care providers by con- necting hospitals, patient clinics and a wide variety of other health- care entities. Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH ) Infor- mation Technology Manager, Nick Betts says, “HealthNet connect is a fiber network designed by IHS to be used for medical purposes. The network initially connects 28 hospitals with a high-speed 100 MB network connect. GCMH along with 27 additional hospitals are set to be up and running on HealthNet connect by early summer. When fully implemented, it will be one of the first systems of its kind in the nation to receive funding from the Federal Communica- tions Commission’s Rural Health Care Pilot Program.”
