Cambria Community Healthcare District to Discuss Budget & Long Term Planning

A reminder: the CCHD will have a special Budget meeting on Wed,, May 13, 2009 at 6:30pm at Rabobank.  The purpose is to review the draft 2009 – 2010 budget and long range planning issues.  Since the current revenue is coming in short and the expenses are on projection and maybe over something will have to be done to off set the projected short fall.
Members of the Citizen’s EMS ADVISORY Committee may want to refresh their memories and review our report as there are recommended suggestions that because they were ignored by the CCHD Board are coming to fulfillment.  Increased ambulance transports without increased Medicare reimbursement, purchasing new ambulances and keeping four equipped at all times, not enough Measure AA money to cover additional personnel, not enough money for adequate facility upkeep and so forth. (Click here to download a PDF version of the report.)
Board member Kristi Jenkins invites everyone in the community to attend the meeting if at all possible. Just as with the issue of the ALS equipment on the CCSD fire trucks, public attention, questions and (if needed) pressure must be a part of the process to make sure our money is well-spent and our services reflect what we pay.
