Matt believes the purpose of a hospital district is to foster a healthy community. To do that, our hospital district must work relentlessly to ensure that all residents have access to affordable high quality healthcare for all their healthcare needs. The job of the commissioners is to continuously and rigorously assess the healthcare needs of the community and help guide the hospital district to ensure those healthcare needs are met. Matt is committed to leveraging his skills and experience to collaborate with the current board of commissioners to achieve that fundamental purpose and help our community be the healthiest it can possibly be. Matt welcomes your comments and feedback. Commissioner Ready’s current term expires December 2025.
