We are lifelong members of the Arlington community and value the quality of life we have enjoyed. Cascade Valley Hospital is an important and essential part of our community.
Proposition 1 is on the May 15 ballot. We urge you to consider what the passage of the bond will do for our community. One, upgrade and expand the emergency room to reduce patient wait times and improve critical emergency care. Two, upgrade and expand operating rooms. Three, provide state-of-the-art laboratory and imaging technology for patient diagnosis and treatment. Four, reconfigure the hospital for maximum operating efficiency and cost savings. Five, upgrade the hospital to attract and retain the highest qualified doctors and medical specialists to our community. We urge you to vote to approve Proposition 1 to maintain quality lifesaving emergency care in our community.
