2007-12-28 - Westlake Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo JRA, Louisville, KY.
SOMETIME IN THE WINTER OF 2008-2009 if all goes as planned, the the night sky will at Westlake Hospital will be vastly different. The drawing above shows the Westlake third floor as rendered by the architects, JRA, Louisville, KY. The construction time table projects the third floor to be fully enclosed by fall of 2008, and the new addition to be ready for use in fall of 2009. A lighted Westlake logo will be above the entrance. On the left, a four story elevator, besides being an interesting architectural feature, will allow maintenance access to the rooftop without the use of ladders. The image was part of a presentation to the Adair County Hospital Board of Trustees at its regular meeting, December 27, 2007.

Dr. Sandidge, Green Co. native, practiced at Wisdom, KY

Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge was one of area's most colorful and important citizens. From his service to wounded soldiers on both sides in the Civil War, to the memory of his wives and the special culture they brought to the area, Dr. Sandidge story is one to remember
From the December 2007, Senior Quest Magazine, Edmonton, KY. Photos and information furnished by Rondal Watson and Barbara Barton, great grand children of Doctor Sandidge.

By Geniece Marcum

Among the early physicians to practice medicine in this area was Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge, a native of Green County, Kentucky. Born in 1830, he was a son of Dabney Sandidge and Dolly Thompson Sandidge, who came to Green County from Albamarle, County, Virginia.

They were the parents of four children, and according to old family stories, two of their sons, Washington and his brother Pleasant never got along. They fought continuously until their frustrated parents finally decided to separate the two. After much consideration Washington was sent to medical school and his brother Pleasant to law school!
