In an effort to enhance the Lake City Greenway, the Kiwanis Club of Warsaw has provided a shelter on property owned by Kosciusko County Historical Society for users of the Greenway and Tippecanoe Rest Park. The Kiwanis Club recently received a grant for more than $2,000 from Kosciusko County Foundation to complete work on the shelter. The Chinworth Bridge is the trailhead, or start of the Greenway. The Kiwanis shelter at the trailhead can be used for picnics or for shelter during inclement weather. The shelter will accommodate 25-40 people.

The average stay throughout the state went up from 7.86 days per patient to 7.96 days. Average stay at Warsaw’s hospital - Murphy Medical Center - well below state average, figures 5.2 days per patient. This seemingly insignificant difference of 2.7 days per patient saved local patients more than $100,000 last year.
