Save Landmark Medical Center
Landmark Medical Center is in dire financial condition. For the sake of its patients, employees, and the community, Landmark must remain a full-service, non-profit, locally-controlled community hospital serving the people of northern Rhode Island.
| Sample Letter for Campaign |
Subject: Save Landmark Medical Center
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Landmark Medical Center has served the people of Northern Rhode Island since 1873.
Landmark Medical Center has the third busiest emergency room in the State, provides essential medical services to the community, and has been recognized by the RI Department of Health as one of the most cost-effective hospitals in Rhode Island. Landmark also serves as an economic engine to northern Rhode Island, providing good jobs to more than 1,000 employees.
Yet, largely because of inadequate payment for the services it provides, Landmark Medical Center is in dire financial condition.
For the sake of its patients, employees, and the entire community, I urge you to do everything in your power to ensure that Landmark Medical Center remains a full-service, non-profit, locally-controlled community hospital serving the people of northern Rhode Island.
Sincerely,
|

Yet, largely because of inadequate payment for the services it provides, Landmark Medical Center is in dire financial condition. As a result, the State has assigned a “Special Master” to help develop a plan for Landmark’s survival, and the hospital’s fate now rests with our State officials.
For the sake of its patients, employees, and the entire community, Landmark must remain a full-service, non-profit, locally-controlled community hospital.
