The Palomar-Pomerado Health System recently reported a $27 million loss on an yearly operating budget of $280 million dollars. This also reflects an $11 million yearly operating loss. The next Board will be faced with reversing this negative spiral while maintaining excellent health services. This can only be done by forming a strong coalition with patients, local businesses, nursing staff and medical staff.

Financial pressures can create an atmosphere uncertainty which could negatively impact patient services. We need people with experience and a committment to patient care during these uncertain financial times.

In order to provide excellent services PPHS should attract and keep excellent staff. In a time of financial difficulty it is imperative not to get into a negative spiral. Nursing and ancillary staff are crucial to the high performance of the Hospitals. Physicians should expect the Hospitals used by their patients to provide the best services.
