Thank you for considering the tremendous burden placed on CAH faciliites should the original credentialing process be enforced. Our hospital provides a much needed service every day to the people of our community and surrounding counties. While our primary care physicians provide exceptional care to each of our patients, all recognize the value of providing specialty services. Not only do these Physicians, in person, by phone, or by telecommunications, render timely and advanced care, the assessments they provide saves lives and offers opportunity foro ur aging population to remain in their own community. Thank you for removing barriers that would only hinder our continued ability to serve.
