Dick was one of the best. That was his genius. You can't win without those people.

We truly are on the horns of a dilemma. If we don't raise pay, if we don't keep up, if we don't play with this price war that we're currently having for medics, then we will loose the good staff that we have now.

We're going to keep answering calls, we're going to still provide care to the citizens of Adair County. Whether the tax passes or not, we're going to still offer the best quality care that we can afford.

These are maintenance expenses, just like changing the oil on the car. You've got to change the oil on the car, you've got to change the mattresses, you've got to replace the carpet.

Even though we're really concerned about money, even though we've been cut by Medicare, we still need to continue operations.

There seems to be a whole lot of life at Twin Pines.
