My dad survived 3 open heart surgeries which gave us fifteen more years with him. This community deserves a better chance to have this life extending surgery—to have more accessible and more affordable coronary care. I have family in this community so it’s personal. I applaud the mission based approach of Floyd Medical Center.

Northwest GA needs more Heart and Floyd Medical Center needs and wants to join in on the effort.

Our community needs additional heart services. Floyd serves our entire community and we need more choices available to the African American community.

Northwest Georgia needs more options for heart care. Please give serious consideration to giving Floyd Medical Center approval for open heart surgery.

Rome, Floyd County needs this option in healthcare. Floyd is the general access point for the community. Giving the Floyd County and the surrounding counties an affordable option can bring more money, resources, and labor force to the area.

The residents of NW Georgia deserve a choice when choosing where to undergo heart procedures.

Having worked in an open heart unit, I have seen a countless number of lives saved from open heart surgery. I strongly urge you to implement this lifesaving measure in your hospital.

No one should be against reducing barriers to open heart surgery that African Americans in our community currently have, and no one should be against an alternative to unreasonably high charges at the only hospital that currently is allowed to offer open heart surgery in our community. Floyd will get the job done!!! I support Floyd's Open Heart CON.

It is most important that everyone has the opportunity to have open heart surgery if needed. Therefore, I do hope that the governor will approve this petition to allow Floyd Hospital to offer this to patients in the community.

This is good for the community. I am 15+ years post op of 5 bypasses. Personally I would like to have this service near by. I am planning on retiring to NW Georgia from South Carolina. We presently have no hospital and no resident doctor in the county. My family is from Rome. I was educated there and raise my family in Rome. I support this project.

Floyd County needs this service so as to have a more affordable option than we have currently.

My husband had open heart and it would have better for him, not to have transferred hospital for this procedure.

The communities of Northwest Georgia deserve a choice for where to receive open heart care. Please approve Floyd Medical Center's certificate of need request.

Almost everything is improved by completion. Price and quality are both improved.

This is crucial for the people who live in this area! Only one (very expensive) option is wrong.
