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.
