William G. Gurry - Board of Directors Candidate

By William G "Bill" Gurry

With over 15 years in direct healthcare facility knowledge, I have consulted with and evaluated healthcare facilities across the United States. I have personally analyzed hospital facility risks and efficiencies at over 100 major hospitals and hospital groups that include Sutter Health, Holy Cross, Detroit Medical Center, Lutheran Health Systems, Boston Medical Center, etc. Included are mergers and acquisitions consultation for other hospital groups.

Sonoma Valley Hospital District needs an experienced qualified person to make important decisions about our hospital's future. At issue is the need for thorough understanding of our facility, what is needed and what isn't. In the past, I worked as an engineer at Sonoma Valley Hospital and know the facility's infrastructure, equipment and the building itself.

It is unique to find someone with as much "on point" healthcare facilities experience, project engineering experience and financial knowledge as I do and live in our town of Sonoma. It is also unique that I know Sonoma Valley Hospital intimately as a former hospital engineer at Sonoma Valley Hospital. I do not want our hospital to go under and it is my goal to make sure it does not.

Wise decisions need to be made regarding retrofitting and updating our hospital in the very near future. My knowledge, education and experience directly relates to what is needed on the Board at this time.
