Hospital board

It seems to me the size of the hospital board is less importantthan who is on it, and how well they are overseeing the operation. I'm grateful that the city does still run the facility, with the appointed board, and that we did not sell it to the the private developers as was planned several years ago.

It is the only hospital in the city and, as things are going, needs to be responsive to the citizens as much as profit driven. Of course it must make a profit to finance the debt payments, or else coming looking for more tax money. It seems the plans and strategy is in place to make the facility the best it can. We will see over the next couple years whether the promise of a sparking new facility, with new equipment, will bring more specialist (and more primary care doctors) to improve our services and health of our residents.
