We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony for Air Evac’s life team at AllianceHealth Ponca City Hospital Tuesday July 30 at 12:30 p.m. The ribbon cutting ceremony will be at the helicopter pad. This is for our emergency helicopter service that operates from the hospital. This service has and will continue to help save Ponca City citizens. Please join us and meet the staff and see the helicopter first hand.
After taking the summer off our Education and Workforce Committee will meet Thursday, Aug. 1, at 4 p.m. at the Chamber Office.
This is a very active chamber committee. Here are their goals for this school year.
-

-
To provide a platform for all Ponca City schools to present ideas and concerns.
