METHADONE CLINIC SAME AS HEART SVCS.

I understand that (CON denial of heart services at hospital) is
disappointing to the citizens of Shelby County as I'm a resident. It
is very ironic that the issues for Shelby County Treatment Center are
similar. There are many citizens that being denied the right to
treatment. They are being denied this treatment based on four Shelby
County court hearings that didn't produce any evidence, and not one
person testified in any of the four cases.

These citizens are forced to drive great distances to other counties
each and everyday. If there is a need to open heart surgery, than we
should and if there is a need for Methadone treatment (then) we should
offer that (too). Shelby County officials are wanting to be fair, are
they not? Something to think about.
