IVCH burying time capsule as part of 100-year celebration

If you were to bury a time capsule with things from your home or work, what all would you want people to see 100 years from now?

As part of their 100th anniversary, Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru is burying a time capsule this Sunday. Among the things inside will be: a patient ID wristband; tablets of the three most common prescribed drugs at the IVCH pharmacy; a cleaning wipe; four-printed IVCH Facebook pages; and a food thermometer.

The time capsule is going into the memorial flower garden on the west side of the hospital. Public Relations Director Gene Vogelgesang hopes the capsule won’t be unearthed until another important milestone date for IVCH.
