Glen Rose Medical Center-Map of Where External For-Profit Clinics Are (2019)

This map created  from the list of ancillary clinics in the March 27 2019 Somervell County Hospital District board meeting.  One is not listed on the map, as I'm not sure at this point where it is , except that it is not in Somervell County. I've also included Pecan Family Medical Center in Pecan Plantation, although it is not from this management company because it also operates not only outside Somervell County Hospital District borders but in Hood County's Hospital District, in which the Hood County taxpayers pay no tax. (See item # XV from this meeting in Jan 28 2016 in which the hospital board voted to take out a loan to finance the remodel and expansion of Pecan Clinic and Therapy Services)

As you look at this, consider that you as a Somervell County resident pay taxes to the Somervell County Hospital District. The District is supposed to be for you, and Glen Rose Medical Center is supposed to be non-profit since it is a public hospital. There is no part of the Somervell County Hospital District definition that includes operating clinics outside of the area. If somehow they could operate clinics outside the area, they would need to be for you and serve a public purpose. Operating through a management group for -profit does not serve a public purpose. Plus, consider, are you really going to go travel to McKinney or Denton? And the board is talking about (and maybe they already have ) opening more clinics in the metroplex. On one meeting video, they mentioned Aledo, and Dr Vasick talked about clinics in Parker County. It's very clear and in fact, Ray Reynolds has said so,as has Dr Vascick, that these clinics are revenue opportunities. 

What are the costs (excluding Pecan Family Medical Center, which the board doesn't seem to know where the costs are)? (I have an open records request to view the contracts, and will post them after I see) Here is a partial breakdown, you can listen to the links below, with video to hear what Ray Reynolds had to say.
