VOTE November 4th:
SHIRLEY APPLE MURPHY,
Grossmont Healthcare District Board

Dear Friends, Neighbors, Healthcare Advocates and Community Activists

e share a common bond in our desire to have excellent patient care services at Grossmont Hospital for our families. I have been an advocate for quality healthcare services in East County for 25 years. I offer you my 18 years of community health planning experience with the Navy Hospital Corps and the U. S. Public Health Service.

Currently, I’m a psychologist, educator and a small business owner in East County. My work is in vocational rehabilitation for the disabled and community health.

Six months ago I was appointed to the Board of the Grossmont Healthcare District. I want to continue to serve our district as a proactive member and truly represent you. As an incumbent with stewardship responsibilities, I commit to uphold the mission of the Grossmont Healthcare District including the District’s adoption of a formal communication policy with the Grossmont Hospital Corporate Board.

I’ve served as a Board member of the Grossmont Hospital Foundation, garnering resources to advance state of the art services for you. I facilitated a $350K contribution for the acquisition of the da Vinci Robotic Surgery System.

I support the upgrade of our Emergency Service and Critical Care Center at Grossmont Hospital. I want to thank you, the district voters, for your support of Prop G. I pledge to be fiscally responsible with your tax dollars.

My priorities for our District families are as follows:

• promote Grossmont’s Health and Wellness Resources
• inform our community about existing health facilities in the district
• support the acquisition and maintenance of advanced technologies
• explore innovative, collaborative and cross-cultural health solutions
• stay abreast of national/state legislation that impacts our District

As your elected representative to the Grossmont Healthcare District Board, I, Shirley Apple Murphy, promise to strengthen our communication.

I humbly, ask for your Vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

Sincerely,

SHIRLEY APPLE MURPHY
