I think it’s time to remind the voting public that on any high-functioning board of directors or commissioners, each of the members brings a varied background and skill set.
As regards the Public Hospital District 2 hospital commissioner role specifically, we currently have a board with five people who have either worked in or come from health care backgrounds.
It is imperative that we elect new candidates who bring more diversity to the board in terms of their skill sets, perspective, background and strengths.
Please join me in voting for Karen Rogers and Jim McEntire for the Olympic Medical Center Board of Commissioners and thus for best interest of our community.
