A proposal: Lindsey Wilson Regional Hospital


NOTE: The article below is bold idea from Doug Beard. Here's a question based on reading the concept: If the total debt of the hospital is $18,000,000, that figures out to an average of $1,000 per citizen. How close to that $18 million figure could a fundraiser amass with families giving $1,000 per family member to Lindsey Wilson in restricted giving for Lindsey Wilson Regional Hospital - a non-profit, non-government healthcare facility? Just wondering - thinking outside the box. Lindsey Wilson, with community help, gave us a country club to brag about. Could the same leadership save the hospital? - CM

Personal commentary

Lindsey Wilson Regional Hospital - An "Out-of-the Box" alternative
to a County Governed or Corporate Controlled facility.


There can be little debate that the greatest strategic and physical asset that Columbia has is Lindsey Wilson College.
