I just wish there were signs of the appropriate doctors signing on; signs of the other facilities being under construction!

I know. All I hear is good doctors leaving. I don't know what letter you are talking about but with health issues being an older adult's number one worry, THIS isn't the best place to be.

See that all you varmints who say I never criticise this place?

AND...The Morses can build buildings but they cannot make good medical people come here.

The letter is addressed to all 92,154 residents. If yours wasn't in your mailbox today, check tomorrow or the next day. It's a very nicely written explanation of the neighborhood Care Centers (seven planned, with the first -- in Colony -- opening soon).

"Mayo Clinic" style of salaried doctors in 8 Health Centers. Success depends entirely on the quality of the doctors. The centers can be built quickly Villages style, but to hire 70 to 80 doctors may be time consuming. The doctors will be general practitioners that serve limited patients and have the patience to serve.

Sounds good to me.

I got a letter and I'm Canadian, so it definitely has been sent to each and every resident.
