Troutman: It would seem to me that in order for both
hospitals to maintain the success that they have had over the
years that the medical staff has a whole lot to do with that,
because the medical staff has the rapport with the patients
and the populous of the county. I think rather than the patients
going to another county for service that they feel a genuine
sense of closeness to their medical staffs here in the county.
I am going, to ask each administrator this question: Does the
medical staff of your hospital support this bond referendum?
I am asking Mr. Pearson.
Pearson: We, I think, have a mixture of opinions among
our medical staff on that question, and the majority of the
staff has said that they would not oppose the bond issue. They
are not entirely enthusiastic about it because the majority
feel that a new hospital located on I-77 and removed from
the present location would be a better plan.
Nunnery: Mr. Troutman, the medical staff at Iredell Memorial
Hospital has gone on record as supporting the bond issue.
I would like to, if you would permit, let Dr. Thomas Templeton
speak for the medical staff. He is the current president.
Dr. Thomas Templeton: A request of expansion of renovation
of Iredell Memorial Hospital has been brought before the staff
of, the medical staff of the hospital, and the plans have been
gone over in detail and the medical staff without a single
' dissenting vote to my recollection, endorsed it enthusiastically.
