The Task Force needs your input on what you would like to see (or not see) in an expanded campus. Now is the time to provide input - as plans move forward it becomes increasingly difficult to incorporate different views!
Please mail or email the Task Force your thoughts now. Think of it as your wish list. For example, do you use the hospital/physician complex? What do you like or not like about it?
Please send comments no later than May 31, 2016
