| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office. | TRANSPARENCY: I believe that transparency is key to building trust between the hospital and the community it serves. As a board member, I will work to ensure that the hospital operates in an open and transparent manner, and that all stakeholders are kept informed of important decisions and developments. ACCOUNTABILITY |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how? | The hospitals board needs true stewards representing the people’s voice. The public has a right to have their voice involved in the decisions made at the board level. Patient care needs to be inclusive of the patient it serves rather than administration and policy driven care. And final tansparency and accountability are paramount in maintaining the trust of our community. I am steadfast in my commitment to holding hospital leadership accountable for any lapses in care or mistreatment of patients. We need the hospital to be safe for everyone and build the trust and integrity back within our hospital. |
