counts is where it goes. If it stays in your local community
to improve your local facilities, that's one thing. If
it goes all over the world to pay taxpayers, I think that's
another thing.
Any profit we make goes right back into the facilities
to improve them, and these are the facilities that you own.
I thank you.
DR. WILLIAM'SKEEN, MOORESVILLE, NC
I will keep my remarks very brief. I just had a
couple of points I wanted to direct to the commission that
I don't think have been made tonight.
My concern is with Lowrance Hospital because that's
where I have been on the hospital staff making my living
and practicing medicine for the last twenty years.
I am really concerned that the renovation program
that our board of directors has outlined cannot be paid for
under the present program. The feasibility study that's
been done is based primarily onpopulation trends and
projections. The big thing with me in seeing that this
$20 million is paid back, I think the payback is $20 million
over twenty years, is not how much population we've got.
Your 18% increase over the next five years as projected
for admissions and hospital days at Lowrance Hospital
depends to a great extent or to a whole extent on having
enough physicans to admit these people.
