PMC (Lack of) Maintenance Reached Crisis Levels

This Elevator at PMC had already been down for 1 week according to PPH Staff as of June 18th.

PPH administration is requesting the Board to approve $1,689,750 for a renovation of the Palomar Medical Center elevators. ". . . it has also been determined that the patient tower elevators at Palomar Medical Center are deemed to be in need of renovation and are also an emergent need for use of FY 2011 capital. These elevators service core patient and visitor populations at PMC and thus also meet the definition of strategic imperative. As background, summary of this renovation is as follows:
o Risk of trapped visitors and patients.
o Fire Department being called to respond.
o Doubling workload when one elevator is down."
