Why I support the new hospital
Dr. Won Joo Bang argues Pecos needs a new hospital facility. He notes the current 27 bed hospital has become 30 by converting the records room to a ward, and that there is only one tub bath for all patients, causing waits and germ concerns. He calls for a basic, essential facility and urges support for Pride in Pecos.
