Rave to Bill Williams – Although his opponent for the Public Hospital District referenced a MASH unit in the Fourth of July parade, it’s Bill Williams who actually ran a MASH unit in Korea during the Vietnam War and thus started his career in hospital administration.

Bill received three commendations for improving health care service during that time. He knows from experience what the public wants and demands from a hospital that truly serves everyone’s needs.

He was the first person here to publicly ask for the less-expensive alternative to the emergency room — an emergent clinic (walk-in clinic).

Calling him “Double Bill” may help you remember his somewhat dual name: Bill Williams. I hope you will join me in voting for him when your ballot arrives in the mail next month. Thank you.
