To Whom It May Concern:
RE: New Certificate of Need Application
This letter is to express my support for Hilo Medical Center, which has served me
so well during many different cardiac -related health events.
This Certificate of Need is for the establishment of a much-needed interventional
cardiac catheterization service at no capital cost. This would be a new service that
deals with heart ailments.
The new service would help ensure better outcomes, saving many lives of
cardiac patients here on Hawai'i Island.
Thank you very much for your consideration of this Application.
Sincere y,
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
