We need Lawrence, Parsons on POHD board

I fully support Dr. Tom Lawrence and Helen Parsons in the upcoming election for the Pend Oreille Hospital Board of Trustees and urge others to do so as well. A resident of Sandpoint for 44 years, Dr. Lawrence has been in family practice for over 40 years demonstrating his commitment to quality healthcare through both his professional and personal presence in our community. In both his practice of medicine and his time serving on various boards, including the Pend Oreille Hospital Board of Trustees, Dr. Lawrence has always had the community’s health at the forefront of his mission. He is trustworthy and transparent and his actions have proven he is a significant asset to our community’s healthcare.

Helen Parsons is a third-generation Sandpoint native and believes that one of the most important components to a healthy community is a strong healthcare system. She will represent our community with integrity. Helen worked for Sandpoint Women’s Health, one of the three outpatient clinics supported by the Pend Oreille Hospital Board of Trustees, for over 28 years giving her firsthand knowledge of our community’s healthcare needs.

Please join me in supporting Dr. Tom Lawrence and Helen Parsons on Tuesday, May 18 in the election for the Pend Oreille Hospital Board of Trustees.
