[Regarding “Presentation on Weaverville Hospital Sparks Tense Exchange Between AdventHealth Official, Mission CEO,” Oct. 6, Asheville Watchdog via Xpress website:]
I definitely support AdventHealth’s application to build a hospital in Weaverville. Currently, Mission has no competition in Buncombe, so AdventHealth’s new hospital will provide competition. We need competitors to improve overall care and provide a hospital choice for our citizens.
