Dan, Ed an I are willing to help in several ways. Once you get your non-profit status fully established, we agree we would like to support your efforts as much as we can afford as retired folks. I am currently an equipment planner with Kaiser in N. California. I also am a licensed LVN. I have been in healthcare for more than forty years in many roles. We will be moving permanently to Puna next year, and I think my experience may be of value to you. Would love to talk to you about your needs regarding equipment and perhaps even some clinical involvement. Please don't interpret this as an elicitation for employment. I'm looking at volunteer work! I will be retiring with Kaiser medical benefits, but this does not deter my appreciation of the community's need for improved service. We both wish you the best in your efforts.
