Attend health forum
Editor, The Herald: new and sewarate hospital dmtlct stop this process. I am deeply con-
I want to encourage local citi-
zens to attend the health care fo-
rum on April 14.
During the thrum our commu-
nity will have an opportunity to
learn about Harrison Hospital's
very exciting business plan to im-
prove our local health care servic-
es. The basics of the plan include
a local developer building a brand-
new clinic that Harrison will staff
with new doctors and provide ex-
panded services including after-
hours urgent care.
The plan also includes Mason
General eliminating their taxing
authority and control over North
Mason and the establishment of a
with local control over tax rates
and the future of local health care.
This is the exact plan the commu-
nity has been asking for the past
10 years. The details of the plan
will be explained during the thrum
being held on April 14. This is the
most exciting opportunity to im-,
prove local health care that I have
seen in all my years in Belfair.
Ultimately, this improvement in
local health care will be measured
by the number of lives that will be
saved.
Sadly, I have already heard
half-truths and propaganda from
a fbw self-proclaimed experts who
are agenda-driven and trying to
cerned that this exciting opportu-
nity to improve local health will be
squashed by a few toxic and nega-
tive people broadcasting false, self-
serving misinibrmation. If these
few people are allowed to continue
their propaganda they will do so
at the expense of our community's
health.
The best way to learn about
these new opportunities is to at-
tend the forum and ask ques-
tions. I will be returning home to
moderate the event because I am
concerned about our community's
health.
