Candidate for
Board Member; Palm Drive Health Care District

My Priorities

Since joining the Palm Drive District board in July, I have developed four priorities:

• Reopen Palm Drive Hospital if it can be done in a fiscally responsible and sustainable manner. If it can't, then restore radiology, laboratory, outpatient surgery and urgent care services to benefit as many District residents as possible.

• Expand health care services in our underserved River and coastal communities. For too long, folks living farthest from Palm Drive Hospital have received the least in return for their taxes. That needs to change.

• Get the Palm Drive District out of bankruptcy and, if at all possible, pay our former employees 100% of what they're owed.

• Provide strong and active board oversight of the District's finances and operations.
