Chrissy Warner, above, a lab scientist at Oak Valley Hospital, signs a steel beam at the new hospital’s ‘topping out ceremony’ on Sept. 15. In the ceremony, people sign the final steel beam used to complete the frame construction of a building, which is then raised with a tree sitting on top. At side, Oak Valley Hospital District board members, employees, construction personnel, and others were present for the ceremony. John Friel, CEO of OVHD, spoke briefly before a large crane raised the beam and workers bolted it into place.
