New hospital leadership needed

I, like many others in the community, are carefully watching the future of our hospital. Everyone would agree that a great hospital is vitally important in this town.

My main reason for writing this letter is to thank Drs. Dean Baker and William Wessels for their honest opinion of how we got into this mess. The first, and one of the most important steps was to get rid of the problem at the very top. Now that has been done, the next step is to replace every single one of the trustees on the hospital board. How could a trustee stand by and watch the hospital sink $18 million in debt? These board members, I believe, are incompetent and have shown they do not have the skills needed to watch over the operation of our hospital.

I would certainly hope that whomever would take over our hospital, that a complete new board of trustees be a condition of sale.
