WILLMAR -- Rice Memorial Hospital's telephones are back in service.
The city-owned hospital had experienced telephone problems earlier today.
Associate administrator Dale Hustedt said at about 1 p.m. Thursday that phone service had been restored, but officials were still trying to determine the source of the problem.
Shortly before noon Hustedt had informed the Tribune of the problems and provided an alternate phone number for reaching the hospital at that time. The hospital can once again be reached via its main phone line at 320-235-4543.
