Dear Editor,

I would like to encourage the voters in the Oak Valley Hospital District to vote to retain Belinda Abell as a Director.

Belinda has served on the Board for over six years and currently holds the position of President. Her commitment to the community deserves to be rewarded by her re-election.

While many small community hospitals and clinics have disappeared because of the severe economical constraints currently existing, our local hospital is very viable and financially stable. This is, in some part, directly attributable to Belinda’s leadership.

I have read where several candidates are clamoring for change. I caution. Beware, change comes in many forms, and is not always what we think it will be.

Vote for Belinda Abell.

Frank Clark
