Hospital district eyed to speed bills and expand services
Dr. Lee Gordon leads a petition urging a hospital district to finance the facility locally. Richards says in-house payments could save on drug costs and speed up bills by 15 days for a 10 to 15 percent discount, with tax up to 75 cents per $100 valuation depending on services. The group collected 300 plus signatures and envisions indigent care, inoculations, family practice, ambulance service, and an assisted living wing under the district.
