"Everyone is excited about the possibilities," said Elmer Sellers, assistant hospital administrator at the USA Medical Center. "The next step is to formalize plans and work together to improve the neighborhood of which we are a part of."
"It was an enthusiastic meeting that generated lots of great ideas," added Becky Tate, chief executive officer of the USA Health System. "We look forward to continuing discussions as we formalize action plans."
