The court injunction blocking construction of the new county hospital has created an opportunity to renew discussions for a public/private partnership which would meet the needs of everyone -- patients, the public and private medical community, county officials, and taxpayers. It is the ACCMA's longstanding policy that patients in the county health system receive care in their own community, so long as the county is able to secure long-term arrangements which will meet the needs of all the patients whom the county serves. Physicians and hospitals in both the public and private sector in Contra Costa County have a proud history of dedicated care to their patients. Working .together, that tradition could be enhanced. The ACCMA encourages the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and representatives of the medical community to renew discussions for creating a better county health system. The ACCMA would be pleased to assist in that process. Sincerely, Michael L.
