Editor,

I am supporting Rob Born in his candidacy for a position on the Whidbey General Hospital board.

For several years Rob has followed the concerns and opportunities presented by the hospital and has provided information to our community through his website, blog, and attendance and participation at board meetings and in other public forums.

Rob thoroughly researches these matters and provides comprehensive and unbiased information as well as thoughtful analysis. Rob brings fresh ideas and perspectives to issues facing Whidbey General Hospital and will work for all of us to ensure that the hospital moves forward in the most positive way.

Rob has already demonstrated his interest and commitment to our community and I am confident that he will continue to do so as a member of the Whidbey General Hospital board.
