The action on the Hospital Survey was premature; the public was not advised of the matter, and there is an air of opportunism about the whole subject. 1. There is serious doubt that a Hospital is needed here. A. Petaluma Valley is 7 miles away, brand new and well-equipped. B. Memorial Hospital is 14 miles away and thinking of expsnsion. C. Community Hospital is 16 miles away, capable & well-equipped. D. Kaiser-Permanente has a Facility in Santa Rosa, and many families from this community receive treatment there® E. The State Health Services Agency would not be inclined to assist us in the face of these factors. 2. The City of Rohnert Park has reserved an area for a Hospital. The Eospital Site is adjacent to Medical Complex; if built, would it not increase the value of the Complex substantiallf B. We have a Target Population of 32,000; how many of these could we count on to sustain the operation of a Hospital? C. Hewlett-Packard,'Stqte Farm Mutual and Pacific Telephone all have Group Health Programs for their employees, so we could not count on too many from these facilities if and when they are built. D. A Rohnert Park Health Facility should NOT'be riding the coatails of Petaluma Valley, Memorial or any other Hospital, E. If we incur the services of any of these Hospitals, we will 2ay Drell for them, and the money will go out of our community, and it will not come back! some F -All the Hospitals mentioned above havyEMPTY BEDS, but an empty bed doesn't make a nickel for the Hospital, but Someone has to pay for it nevertheless. 3. There are some very good options open to tsj0encan provide- a good comprehensive Public Health Program for our City; in order to do it, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CRAWL BEFORE WE CAN WALK! A. A few suggested items in a Community Health Program are: Planned Parenthood Emergency Treatment Prenatal Clinic V-D Clinic Sight & Hearing Clinic Weight Control Clinic Alcoholism Clinic Annual Check-up Clinic These programs must be practical, affordable and contribute measurably to the good health of our City.
