[Vision2020] LHS/Gritman Voting Results/Get Private Health Insurance

[Jerry Weitz]

Donovan,  I had an extensive talk with Gritman folks today.  A committee 
will be formed and I will be a member.  Our goal is to work with nursing 
homes to bring skilled nursing--nursing home care to our community.  The 
one that is most interested has 87 skilled nursing bed plus about another 
120.  If talks with the local care givers prove to be not 
fruitful,  Gritman is committed to recruiting others.  The Spokane nursing 
home has about 60% medicaid patients and thus serves indigents.  I'll keep 
you posted. Jerry
