BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS -070 - OU <br />1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Telephone. (561) 567.8000 <br />June 22, 2000 <br />The Honorable Jeb Bush <br />The Capitol <br />Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 <br />Dear Governor Bush: <br />At the Commission meeting of June 20, 2000, the Indian River County Board of <br />County Commissioners voted unanimously to pass the attached Resolution <br />#2000-069, opposing the closing of G. Pierce Wood Memorial Hospital. <br />We urge you to increase the funding of mental health care to permit G. Pierce <br />Wood Memorial Hospital to continue serving the needs of eighteen counties in <br />South Florida, including Indian River County. <br />We understanding it is planned to move the most severely impaired patients to <br />other mental health hospitals in Florida and place the rest in community-based <br />mental health care facilities in neighborhood homes. It is important that funding <br />for the discharged patients follow them, but due to a loss of Medicaid dollars it is <br />anticipated only about $10 million of the total G. Pierce Wood Memorial Hospital <br />budget will ever make it into the community programs. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br />Yours truly, <br />Fran B. Adams <br />Chairman <br />Indian River County Commission <br />FBA:rs <br />Enc. <br />
