CLINIC PROVIDES NEEDED SERVICE

This letter is in reference to the false allegations made about the
Advance Care Emergi-Center recently.

I am fortunate to have health insurance. However, there are over 35
million Americans who are uninsured and do not know what to do in a
medical crisis. Often for common medical needs and intervention, they
are treated in an emergency room where costs are very expensive.

This problem goes beyond local concern. It is a national crisis and
cannot be resolved at this level.

Advanced Care Emergi-Center and the medical staff have been a valuable
resource for the community when health care is needed.

I hope that any future politics would be used to insure that Dr. Shah
and his staff continue to serve the medical needs in our area.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shah since I moved to this area five
years ago.
