Dear Chair Smith and Members of the Board of S ervisoii:
K-se C�.Nf-a Fest o Cmnfr is!nCimg o tLc -r_IrLvion of A C-!!Ith Came f--)r
our citizens.
The Martin Luther King Health Care Clinic has closed, Brookside Hospital is
facing bankruptcy, and our new Kaiser Hospital has such a low patient census
that it needs to form a partnership in order to remain viable.
Contra Costa County is responsible for health care, and therefore should be
playing a more prominent role in assuring that West County residents have
access to a range of health care options in West County.
Kaiser Hospital ts'the only earthquake safe hospital in the area. The County
should attempt to facilitate the continuance of its operation, and if that in-
cludes assisting Brookside, all the better.
In any case I ant appealing to you as the Chair of the Board, to our Supervisor
Jim Rogers, and all other supervisors to commit to working with Kaiser Hos-
pital to maintain a health care facility in Richmond
Thank you for your assistance.
fours truly,
Rosemary M. cor in, Mayor
