The majority of the voters have spoken after a campaign that was exhausting and at times disappointingly vicious - I will not be serving on the LIHDC. I thank all of my supporters, as well as those who did not support me but engaged in respectful dialogue about healthcare on Lopez Island.I have worked tirelessly on this issue for the past 3 years, and now I will step away and turn my attention elsewhere.I have completed a roadmap for the creation of an independent clinic on our island, as well as an evaluation of the quality of care currently being delivered on the Island. Both can be found on this webpage. I hope they are helpful, and I wish our LIHDC the wisdom, humility and luck to navigate our future healthcare on Lopez.
