Ss3cr!E!s To Tht Sts According to Davis, several major insurance companies have been talked with and offered positive feedback in working with the planned facility. Reasons listed for going forward with the project include incredible growth rates, 3.5 million visitor's per year, non-pro- fit 450 births per year. "We often don't realize what is needed until it hits us in the face." Of a survey completed recently, 99 91 of the public were in favor of moving ahead. The hospital which is planned as an independent, community based state of the art facility would be devoted to not just treating the patient but helping them to heal as well." The vision statement includes having a 24 hour emergency service, birthing center, imagingsurgery center, inpatient beds, lab, long term care, social service and home care. "We feel there will be a hospital in that location at some time, it is inevitable, but we need to do it right and not make it for a profit hospital, uid Davis. Feeling 'somewhat optimistic about positive feedback from the city council, Davis brought some sign np sheet for volunteers to assist with the project Dr. Wain Allen added that he felt the project is "needed and would be a busy facility- - full within a year of completion. He cited ZIONS MORTGAGE COMPANY examples showing that trips to Salt Lake become time consuming and difficult on families, whereas having a facility closer would make a lot of sense. A celebrity golf tournament is scheduled for Sept 10 to raise the public's knowledge about the project.

North of the Coalville Cemetery. Past discussions for development of the land have included' a residential district and golf courses. The current plan, which will focus 'on light industrial, has been proposed from the Cummings family who has had great success with previous endeavors. One councilper-so- n commented that the project was a .great opportunity to work toward the future and .what it was a "unique" situation with the developer "greatly committed to the success of the project," having already invested $300,000.00 in the project at this time.
