11Bottom Line
- Build to needs
- Indigent
- Immigrants
- Disaster preparedness
- Rational regional system for primary through
tertiary care including trauma, burn, cancer,
psychiatric and neonatal intensive care - Develop 5 more COPCs including Irving and Grand
Prairie - Develop 2 Community Specialty Clinics
- Implement Blue Ribbon Panel/ Parkland Boards
Strategic Planning Committee recommendations - Support the Three Share Plan (a health coverage
product for small employers) that would help
reduce the number of uninsured in the county and
improve the health of all residents - Develop umbrella organization that can bring
together various community leaders, organizations
and residents with representatives of government
and organizations outside the community is needed
12Parkland Faces Challenges
- Increasing demands for services through both
patient growth and the inability of its
facilities to meet this growing demand - Strain on current facilities limits access to all
populations, including Medicare and other paying
patients - Poverty population has increasingly spread to the
suburbs
