This Thursday, August 25, at 5:45 PM, the Peninsula Health Care District will hold its regular monthly meeting at 5:45 PM in the Sierra Meeting Rooms, in the basement at Peninsula Hospital, 1783 El Camino Real, near Trousdale Ave., in Burlingame. This is the last opportunity for the public to make comments and submit questions to the Board regarding the restructured long term lease relationship between the Peninsula Health Care District and Mills-Peninsula Health Services (a Sutter Health Corporation affiliate.) A 50 year lease between the District and Sutter is being proposed and while we all know that the community needs a new hospital, there are still many unanswered questions about the terms of the lease and how District taxpayers will be affected.
Concerns have been raised about pricing, access to quality health care and future financial obligations that will be passed on to local residents. The Board is elected by Health Care District voters. It has said that it will answer all questions before making a decision on this proposal, so now is the time to get involved.
