hospital, therefore I feel like regardless of what I think,
I feel like the board of commissioners should give the
people of Iredell County the opportunity to say whether or
not they want to spend the amount of money.
They have been told how much money this was going to
cost them; they have been told the situation that they are
going to get from it; they have been told the results
from this money and what they are going to get from it; and
I do not feel like it is up to me although I am a member
of the board of directors of Lowrance Hospital. It is not
for me to say; it is up to the people to say. And if they
say, "I=want it; I am willing to take the chance; I want to
go for it." They've got one man 100% behind them.
JEFF PEARSON, ADMINISTRATOR, LOWRANCE HOSPITAL
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to briefly respond
to a couple of points I understood Mr. Benbow to make and
I may have misunderstood his points, but the first one
I understood him to mention was 150 bed figure for Lowrance.
That figure would not be a correct figure, if I understood
that.
Lowrance is licensed currently for 104 beds, and there
is no immediate change in that that we can foresee. Secondly,
I understood Mr. Benbow to state that a new hospital would
be provided for Lowrance whether or not the bond issue passed.
