Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Alliance gives first report on health care

It lists services used most in Stokes County and those in decline

DANBURY


Representatives from two of the region's biggest health-care providers - Forsyth Medical Center and N.C. Baptist Hospital - came together last night as the Stokes Health Services Alliance to identify what they see as some of Stokes County's most heavily used medical services.

The alliance's report, which came during a regular meeting of the Stokes County Board of Commissioners, also gave an account of those health-care services in declining use, such as the Danbury hospital that continues to lose about $1.5 million a year.

Though no recommendations were made to county officials last night about the hospital, some commissioners said they continue to keep their eye on Stokes-Reynolds Memorial Hospital.
