– A steady drizzle Tuesday morning didn’t keep supporters from crowding onto the St. Martin Hospital grounds to witness the ground breaking for the 30,000 sq. ft. addition that will more than double the facility’s capacity. Among the dignitaries present were, from left, St. Martin Parish Clerk of Court Becky Patin; Dr. Warren Degatur, Senator Fred Mills, Rebekah Gee, Secretary of the La. Dept. of Health; Karen Wyble, St. Martin Hospital CEO; Governor John Bel Edwards; Patrick Gandy, Lafayette General CEO; and Parish President Chester Cedars. (Karl Jeter)
