I am Dr. Michelle Loftus. When I am Hospital District Commissioner I will bring not only administrative experience to the district but also managerial, business, political and medical knowledge.

I will support EMS by developing a PR campaign explaining the need to have the 2016 EMS Levy passed. The message is simple. If we don’t pass the levy in 2016, EMS goes away. That will not happen because I will explain the specific needs and costs to the community. It will be fiscally conservative and we will all feel comfortable about the decision.

I will also best relate to EMS needs as a member of the medical community. As a veterinarian I am trained in public health. I know the stress of providing emergency care to a patient. I know how to compartmentalize emotion to think straight and do my job. I know the toll such work can take on a person as well.

I will not initiate a challenge the district’s subsidy agreement with Peace Health nor will I attempt an amendment to force an abortion issue. District money would be better used in providing EMS needs of staff and equipment. Peace Health money and time would be best used to provide our life comforting services instead of arguing a change in the agreement. I want to keep our tax money in the district and out of court. Presently women’s reproductive needs are well met in our district through private providers, PIMC and Planned Parenthood.

When I am Hospital commissioner I will work diligently for our island’s security of quality health care. I would appreciate your vote August 4th and November 3rd.
