application review date has been extended until Nov. 30,
Currently, we are not sure as to what this development
means. However, to be safe rather than sorry, it is now
more important than ever to demonstrate the support of
the physicians in our Community for this project.
We have learned that the hospitals (i.e. Moses Cone
and Wesley Long) have continued their opposition to our
facility. Also, in a Letter opposing our project,
Dr. Bob Phillips states:
"If built, will it succeed? Absolutely, since the
two dozen physician investors probably will make

physicians in Greensboro, I doubt that many
would vote for it...."
