Position Papers
Putting "caring" back into Health Care.
The Hospital District must continue to improve and expand its services. I am committed to putting "caring" back into Health Care. Patients have the "Right to accessible, excellent health care provided with respect, privacy, dignity and compassion."
Accountability and Fiscal Responsibility
It is important the community elect Board Members who will work effectively to provide the greatest accountability and maintain a strong fiscal plan to safeguard the financial viability of the Hospital District. We must protect the public's interest and not violate their trust.
Expanding Hospital Services, Emergency Care, Trauma Care and providing safe facilites.
Under the leadership of our new CEO, Michael Covert, and with the active participation of the Medical Staff, Nursing Staff, employees and community members our District has embarked on a Facility Expansion Plan (Proposition BB). This plan realistically addresses our current and future needs and is responsive to the community.
