FARMINGTON — In recent months Franklin Community Health Network, which includes Franklin Memorial Hospital, along with other members of MaineHealth, have been discussing working more closely under a unified model to better meet the health care challenges that lie ahead. These include the ongoing public policy debate, new technology, and evolving best practices in medicine.
MaineHealth and FCHN leadership invite community members from greater Franklin County to discuss what it would mean if FCHN and other members of the MaineHealth family operated under a system-wide budget overseen by single Board of Trustees. This proposed model would leave in place a local board overseeing the care provided here in our community, leverage the resources of the $2.4 billion MaineHealth system to support FCHN, and require giving up some measure of local control.
Frankl Community Health wants to know what its community thinks and is inviting the public and employees to a community forum at Franklin Memorial Hospital at 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 11, in the Bass Room at the hospital. Light refreshments will be available.
An RSVP is requested from those who plan to attend by calling Jill Gray at 779-2555.
