The Clemmons Courier - Clemmons Village Council members commented about the hospital issue which is still on the minds of a lot of local citizens. The hospital was a hot issue in the recent village election.
Larry McClellan, council member, said, “I have not been contacted by either of the hospital groups and have not formed an opinion either proposal. The jury is apparently still out on the issue, and until the state makes a final decision, I’m not inclined to take a specific position.”
Council member Mary Cameron said, “Novant came to the Village Council in September last year and asked for our support in their application to relocate Medical Park Hospital to Clemmons. I supported the idea of a hospital in Clemmons because I believe it is what is best for our community.
“I still support the idea of a hospital in Clemmons and was disappointed in the state’s decision to deny the hospital.
“It is my understanding that this will allow both hospitals to come together. I sincerely, hope that Forsyth and Baptist can develop a solution that will be best for our community.”
