Reynolds, Jr. <br />City Manager <br />City of Martinsville <br />P. O. Box 1112 <br />Martinsville, VA 24114 <br /> <br />Re: Central Piedmont Health Care Services, Inc. <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Reynolds: <br /> <br />Medical care facilities in your locality are about to receive a significant reduction of <br />available federal services which allow those facilities to develop and operate a sliding <br />scale for citizens of your community that are seen by the Sandy River Medical Center, <br />the Southside Family Medical Center and the Martinsville Medical Center, serving the <br />jurisdictions of Danville, Martinsville, Henry County, Pittsylvania County and Franklin <br />County. <br /> <br />The proposed reduction of funding amounts to $903,000 from the Bureau of Primary <br />Health Care Services in Washington, D. C. under the designation of 330 funding. This <br />allows these localities to develop a sliding scale to service those citizens that cannot <br />afford full medical payment for these services. <br /> <br />Attached, hereto, is information received from Central Piedmont Health Care Services as <br />well as a proposed resolution that will be presented to the Pittsylvania County Board of <br />Supervisors on April 7, 2003. I am requesting, on behalf of Mr. F. A. Keatts of the <br />Tunstall District where the Sandy River Medical Center is located, that your jurisdiction <br />consider a like resolution to be submitted to: <br /> <br />Cephas Goldman <br />Department of Health and Human Services <br />Bureau of Primary Health Care <br />Division of Community and Migrant Health <br />4350 East-West Highway, 7* Floor <br />Bethesda, MD 20814 <br /> <br /> <br />
