- Putting "caring" back into Health Care.
 - 
The Hospital District must continue to improve and expand its services.  I am committed to putting "caring" back into Health Care.  Patients have the "Right to accessible, excellent health care provided with respect, privacy, dignity and compassion."
 - Accountability and Fiscal Responsibility
 - 
It is important the community elect Board Members who will work effectively to provide the greatest accountability and maintain a strong fiscal plan to safeguard the financial viability of the Hospital District. We must protect the public's interest and not violate their trust.
 - Expanding Hospital Services, Emergency Care, Trauma Care and providing safe facilites.
 - 
Under the leadership of our new CEO, Michael Covert, and with the active participation of the Medical Staff, Nursing Staff, employees and community members our District has embarked on a Facility Expansion Plan (Proposition BB).  This plan realistically addresses our current and future needs and is responsive to the community.
