The Stark County Commission agreed to pay St Alexius hospital $25,000 toward the medical costs incurred in treating an Alabama-fugitive who was injured in a gun fight.

Stark County will pay St. Alexius Medical Center $25,000 to settle a $72,870 lawsuit over medical expenses for an Alabama fugitive, county commissioners announced Tuesday.

Based on the story, it sounds like total costs incurred by St Alexius exceeded $75,000. St Alexius will absorb the rest of the cost.

This speaks volumes, at least to me, about the overwhelming support St Alexius has from the county.
