I'm sending you this message because I know that our local health care options are as important to you as they are to me. I'm sure you've heard news reports about a proposal to build a new Wishard in downtown Indianapolis. Basically, $703 million in low interest public bonds are needed to support building a new $754 million Wishard Hospital campus. The new Wishard will replace failing buildings that cannot be renovated and will ensure Wishard's critical and life saving services remain available to the community. All of Wishard's funding plan scenarios show the project can be funded with current revenues and will not require any tax increase. Wishard has also saved more than $150 million to put towards the project. To make this new facility a reality, we need to all work together. The message we need to send is simple: Marion County needs a new Wishard hospital. And to accomplish this goal, we all need to make a commitment to vote YES for a new Wishard in the countywide public referendum on Nov. 3, 2009. I hope you'll join me in this important effort. Go to www.WishardYES.org and send your message today to voice your support of a new Wishard for Marion County.

Many of Wishard's patients are currently forced to travel through eight elevators and across the distance of three football fields in order to access all of the services they need.
