Island medical support has been exceptional | Letter

I want to age at home and in our Island Community and realize medical costs are high already and increasing.

With that in mind, I am willing to pay higher taxes to remain here safely with qualified, caring, professionals who need to be able to live here also.

My family has needed the EMTs, specialty doctors, cancer care center and home care teams for crisis and non-crisis assistance. In all needs, our Island medical support has been exceptional.

Now they need us.

Please vote with me in support for Proposition 1: Healthcare for Islanders.
