(Riverside Co) BANNING: Health care district responds to grand jury

BY ERIN WALDNER, STAFF WRITER - The Press Enterprise

In its response to a critical grand jury report, the San Gorgonio Memorial Healthcare District says it has already implemented or is in the process of implementing the grand jury’s recommendations.

The 2011-12 Riverside County civil grand jury investigated the district and, in June, issued its findings and recommendations. In its findings, it took the district to task for its handling of Measure A, a $108 million bond the district passed in March, 2006.

The bond money was supposed to help pay for several construction projects, including a six-story patient tower. A helipad and a central plant that houses boilers and chillers were built, infrastructure was upgraded and a new intensive care unit/emergency department is under construction.
