Auntie Charo's Soapbox

KUAM reported this evening that a group of developers headed by Peter Ada Sgro, working with a group to get a hospital going here to keep sick people from having to fly to the states or the PI for medical help. According to KUAM's website, the group consists of about 23 members.

"Sgro says representatives on behalf of the Hospital were present at yesterday's forum, adding, "They will be invited to every single one of our meetings. We made a decision early on that this is not about us verses them. This is about us working together. We really believe that two hospitals work together. It's very important that we get the support of the hospital. We briefly discussed certain ways we can do things with this new hospital. For instance, we talked about a specialized hospital where certain types of procedures that are not being done at GMH will be done at this hospital. Another example, this new hospital not having an emergency room, while GMH does have an emergency room. The committees will meet again on August 19. Each is expected to submit a report on their tasks. "

It's a big task, but Mr. Peter Sgro has never balked at hard work. I hope that he and his group can pull this one off. I also hope that KUAM gives him credit for the work he's done on the project.

I can't imagine getting his name mixed up. The station's Calvo owned, Sgro's wife is a Calvo, and the reporter still gets Mr. Sgro's name wrong?
Good on ya, Peter!
