1. Veterans' groups collect food and cash for Gospel Mission (mariettatimes.com) — A veterans-led food drive outside the Marietta Walmart just raised nearly $2,000 and more than a truckload of food for the Gospel Mission of Marietta, which feeds hundreds of people each week. Organizers say the mission depends on community support to keep serving local families, and similar efforts are planned across the river in Parkersburg next month.
2. Lawsuit alleges doctors amputated wrong leg of patient in Washington County, Ohio (wchstv.com) — A Washington County lawsuit claims a patient had the wrong leg amputated during surgery involving Marietta Memorial Hospital and affiliated Marietta health care providers, leaving her a double amputee. Filed in Ohio courts, the case seeks compensatory and punitive damages and alleges multiple failures in standard surgical safety checks that local patients and families may find deeply concerning.
3. Ohio upcoming events Sep 28 (lemonwire.com) — Marietta residents have a notable option on this statewide events list: country band Lonestar is scheduled to play Peoples Bank Theatre on Sunday, October 4 at 7 p.m. The roundup also highlights dozens of concerts, comedy shows, and sports events across Ohio between September 28 and October 4, giving you ideas if you're planning a trip beyond town.
