Howard (Howie) Rosenfeld Position Statement

As a candidate for Public Hospital District #1 I’ve received inquiries about my positions. I want to be as clear as possible:

• I support women’s reproductive services.
• I support the AG Opinion that facilities providing maternity care must provide the full range of women’s reproductive health services. My position is the Hospital District has a responsibility to see that these services, needed by the community, are provided.
• I support end of life services including Death With Dignity. Patients need to be assured their health directives will be honored and access to end of life services made easily accessed.
• I support using best medical practices. I’ve stated that I don’t support religion in medical care besides providing a healing environment and praying for good outcomes.
• I support affordable health care. Costs for basic medical care locally continue to increase. This is a major concern important to all of us.
• I support our Emergency Medical Service (EMS). I’m a former first responder that believes our EMS is one of the best in the country and I want to keep it that way.

We’ve got a great EMS and Hospital. I want to work with Peace Health, their local hospital board and the County Board of Health to ensure the best, affordable medical care for our community.
