BY: Commissioner Thomas F. Middleton, District #4
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR POH MEDICAL CENTER
EXPANSION OF SERVICES TO PROVIDE INPATIENT HEALTHCARE IN THE CLARKSTON
AREA
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS POH has reached out to the growing communities of northern
Oakland County, and is serving the health care needs of its citizens
though the Clarkston Medical Campus, and
WHEREAS convenient access to affordable, quality health care is a
cornerstone to the strength and viability of a community, and
WHEREAS the POH Medical Center in Clarkston has made great strides to
meet this need in the Clarkston area by providing 24-hour emergency
care to area residents as well as a wide array of outpatient services,
and
WHEREAS developing an inpatient facility on the Clarkston Campus would
provide a local health care option not currently available to the
growing population in this area, and
WHEREAS POH has indicated an interest in establishing in-patient care
at its Clarkston Campus.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports all efforts at the local, state, and federal
level to allow POH to develop an inpatient facility at its Clarkston
Medical Campus.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
State Representatives and Senators representing Oakland County, Clerk
of the City of the Village of Clarkston and the Township of
Independence.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
