The Editor:
On August 12, 2019, Family Care Network published their proposal for the Blaine medical facility. What was proposed and would be built was a great facility. The staffing and lab facilities included services sorely lacking and still are, in Blaine.
The citizens of Blaine need an update on the project. It is requested the Dr. Rodney Anderson meet with concerned Blaine residents and provide an update on the proposed project. Blaine has a number of MDs (medically dependent) individuals and the number continues to grow. Until you have experienced the problem associated with aging, it may be difficult to understand the frustration caused by the lack of a local medical facility.
The need for basic care and for referrals from GPs for specialists is of prime concern. In addition, transportation is an issue. If you have never been dependent on buses for transportation during your lifetime to suddenly attempt to master a bus schedule can be overwhelming.
It is hoped that Dr. Anderson will meet with the Blaine folks and gain some understanding of the frustrations that the absence of a local medical facility has caused Blaine citizens.
