Hi Sebastopol Waccos -
If you're in the district to vote to keep our hospital open - March 5 deadline for voting on Measure A in the special election - come to the Open House this Wednesday to get info, ask questions and be prepared to vote.
When you need Urgent Care, you need urgent care. And it'll be here.
Blessings, Judith
Dear Friends,
I am writing to invite you to an Open House at our community hospital in Sebastopol
(formerly SWMC, now Sonoma Specialty Hospital):
Wednesday, February 13, 4-7 pm
501 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol.
The Open House is celebrating the opening of high quality Urgent Care— - no appointment necessary— 9 am to 9 pm 7 days a week.
Please join us to see what is offered at Sonoma Specialty hospital including radiology (x-rays, 3-D mammography, DEXA scans), lab, as well as surgery and Long Term Acute Care services for critically ill patients, available soon.
On a related matter, the March 5 deadline for voting on Measure A in the special election is bringing us closer to resolving the political turbulence swirling around the fate of our West County hospital.
The simple version of a message I have for you is this:
A YES VOTE ON MEASURE A IS THE ONLY WAY TO PRESERVE AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL WEST OF HWY 101 WHILE REDUCING FUTURE TAX LIABILITIES.
A NO VOTE COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF HOSPITAL SERVICES IN WEST COUNTY FOREVER
while increasing the tax burden by millions of dollars with no benefit whatsoever to the community.
The PDHC District Board voted 5-0 to lease/sell the hospital property to the American Advanced Management Group (AAMG) as the only way to ensure that hospital services will continue in West County.
For this lease/sale to take place, your YES vote is necessary.
For more details, please see the attached information. See also https://www.sonomaindependent.org/ to stay informed.
For the health and well-being of our West County community,
Joan Marler
