We are supporting Dr. Jeff Cartwright in his bid to become our hospital commissioner for Cascade Valley Hospital District 3. As a patient of Dr. Cartwright’s for four and a half years following a catastrophic off road accident, and having several major surgeries from Dr. Cartwright and other surgeons at Cascade Valley, we feel qualified in attesting to Dr. Cartwright’s ability to bring much needed change to Cascade Valley Hospital. The service provided by Dr. Cartwright and his staff is highly professional and compassionate. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the service received during recoveries at Cascade Valley. We were relieved when Dr. Cartwright decided his patients would be better served by relocating his surgeries to another hospital. It is also unfortunate that we are better served by travelling to another hospital rather than Cascade Valley, a hospital that is both closer and that our tax dollars support. We sincerely believe that electing Dr. Cartwright to Position Number 3 would go a long way in improving the quality of patient care as well as focusing the hospital’s direction in a way that would best serve this community. Please join us on November 3rd in electing someone who intimately understands the real issues facing this hospital and will bring about positive changes for the citizens of this district and more importantly the patients of Cascade Valley Hospital.
