Department in Indiana prior to coming to Georgia. Her offi
cial title when she came on board at the Houston Medical
Center in 1960 was Medical Records Librarian.
The HHJ regrets the errors, and congratulates Jackson
on her 45 years of service to our community.

I Wear A
Hearing Aid!
I 5 / j
If you have hearing loss,
wouldn’t it make sense to
talk with someone who
understands first hand the
problems associated with
hearing loss?
I also work with the Beltone
Hearing Cure Center, in
Warner Robins. If you
need hearing aids, wouldn’t
it make sense to go to the
most trusted and recognized
name in the hearing care
industry, among consumers
age 50 and older?
I invite you to visit our
office in the Doctors’ Building
on Hospital Drive. We
offer a complete hearing
evaluation and consultation
at no charge. If you have a
hearing loss, we will let you
listen to digital hearing aids
to set realistic expectations.
You can also have a 30 day
trial period to be sure the
instruments are right for
you.
