Meetings Planned To Get Input From Area Residents
|
Inquiring hospitals want to know. So do state officials who will decide which hospital will be awarded a certificate of need to proceed with their plans. Many local officials think the state will approve one, but not both, plans.
Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, which is proposing the Davie County Hospital, and Forsyth Medical Center/Medical Park Hospital, which is proposing the Clemmons hospital, both have scheduled public meetings next month.
Baptist will host meetings at 7 p.m. on:
• Monday, Oct. 15, at Hillsdale Baptist Church, 4815 US 158, Advance; and
• Tuesday, Oct. 16, at the Davie County Senior Center, 278 Meroney St., Mocksville.
Forsyth will host meetings from 6-8 p.m. on:
• Thursday, Oct. 11, Clemmons Village Town Hall, 3715 Clemmons Rd.;
• Tuesday, Oct. 16, at Oak Valley Golf Club, 261 Oak Valley Blvd., Advance;
• Thursday, Oct. 25, 25, G. Galloway Reynolds Community Center, 131 Lucy Lane, Lewisville; and
• Monday, Oct. 29, Davie County Public Library, 371 N. Main St., Mocksville.
“We feel it is important to hold meetings in all the communities to make it as convenient as possible for residents to attend,” says Tim Shelton, president of Medical Park Hospital. “We know there will be a lot of questions about the proposed hospital and we want to be sure all residents have an opportunity to participate in the planning of their hospital.”
