For Warren resident Thelma Bonar, the state decision denying a certificate of need for a community hospital planned for construction on Millard Road was sufficient cause to dance. “I was overjoyed,” said the 80-year-old Bonar. “It lifted a weight off my shoulder.” Bonar has railed against the Columbia Health District’s concept for a community hospital almost since she first learned about it, and has been an outspoken critic of it and its planners.
