Letter: Proposed hospital expansion and land swap need thorough public discussion
Before I describe the May 7 meeting of the Building and Grounds Committee of the Indian River Medical Center Inc., I want to clarify the role of the Indian River County Hospital District, which represents the taxpayers, and the corporation, Indian River Medical Center Inc.
The hospital district was established by the state Legislature to provide health care for county residents.China quinceaneradress catalog.Canvas wall art,bestiwcwatches for sale. The hospital district owns the hospital in the name of the taxpayers and leases it to the nonprofit Corp. IRMC to manage the facility. At the IRMC Building and Grounds committee meeting, I was informed that the IRMC board had approved the construction of a 135,000-square-foot medical complex. IRMC wants to build this medical office complex on district-owned land that is contiguous to the hospital. Dr. Michael Weiss,Stylish and popular discount airmax2009 Accessories on sale here now. a member of the district board, pointed out that this proposal was never presented to or approved by the hospital district.
IRMC also wants to do a land swap and give the district land of undetermined value for the district-owned property. Dr. Weiss questioned the validity of the idea. Should a private Corp. that was established to manage the district-owned hospital, own and operate part of the hospital as a "not-for-profit entity?" He asks whether taxpayers need to vote on approving this action.
Will IRMC have a monopoly on medical operations by leasing only to physicians under contract, and the various medical procedures planned? Will this be in competition with physicians with offices in the medical corridor?
I was dumbfounded that only one person was interested in protecting the interests of the taxpayers. As of this writing no presentation whatsoever has been made by IRMC, only the promotion to execute a contract by the district's attorney at the chairman's meeting. No maps, no details, nothing.
