Hospital board endorsement

1 min read

To the editor:

As a former Lee Memorial Health System Board member, the former executive director of Lee Memorial’s Children’s Hospital and a 25-year resident of Pine Island, I pay close attention to the individuals running for Lee Memorial Health System Board of Directors. I strongly support Sandy Cohen in District 3 and Steven Brown in District 1.

Sandy Cohen is a retired pediatrician and former provost of Wayne State University Medical School. Sandy is a current member of Lee Memorial’s Children’s Hospital Advisory Board and is a senior advisor in the development of a medical residency program at Lee Memorial.

Steve Brown is a retired radiologist and is the current vice chairman of the Lee Memorial Health System Board of Directors. Steve is an advocate for children’s issues and as a resident of Sanibel, keeps a close watch on how issues affect our island communities.

Please vote for Sandy Cohen and for Steve Brown for Lee Memorial Health System Board of Directors on Nov. 6, 2012.
