Dear Supervisor Torlakson:
As you know, an ad hoc committee of our Board of Directors met with Supervisors McPeak and
Powers on July 26 to discuss the new County Hospital and the role Mt. Diablo Hospital District
could play in providing an alternative to its construction. The District then spent the next 45
days analyzing this issue; and as mutually agreed, both the District and the County refrained
from publicly commenting on this matter.
At its meeting on September 29, the Mt. Diablo Hospital District Board of Directors reviewed
an alternative to the construction of the new County Hospital. Under this alternative, the County
would contract with Mt. Diablo Medical Center to provide, or arrange with other district
hospitals for the provision of, all acute inpatient and emergency room services. The Board
Directors has authorized management to enter into a 60-day period of negotiation regarding our
alternative with the County within the financial parameters which were presented at the Board
meeting. In addition, the Board requests that the County not proceed with the construction of
the proposed new County Hospital during this 60-day period of negotiation.
Michael Wall, our Chief Executive Officer, has been in contact with Mark Finucane to arrange
for our staffs to begin reviewing our proposal in depth. After this has occurred, it is our desire

to have our Board and the Board of Supervisors meet to discuss the benefits of this proposal in
providing convenient, cost-effective health care to the community. I am looking forward to a

entire community.
