This morning I was watching Sierra Wave TV and they had a segment titled, "Community input at Southern Inyo Hospital meeting."
Sitting in the front row were Doug and Earlene. Doug was wearing a tie, a tie!!!
Below is a comment on Sierra Wave by Doug:
Other suggestions from community members and staff were forming a hospital foundation, beginning a dialogue on pending legislation and political action and looking at the hospital as a business. “We should have done this two, three, five years ago,” said Doug Thompson. “The most important things are (the hospital’s) employees and trust. We’re losing both.” Thompson also suggested looking to the county’s major employers, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, all of whom send employees injured on the job to SIH and NIH.[b]
