Montgomery County business leaders have sent a joint letter to Maryland hospital regulators in support of Adventist HealthCare’s hospital plan for Clarksburg, one of two proposals vying to build the county’s next hospital.
This latest letter, signed by 19 community and business leaders in upper Montgomery County, backs Rockville-based Adventist HealthCare’s plan to use a 60-acre Clarksburg site for a hospital, physician office buildings, outpatient medical services, a nursing home and a day-care center. Adventist said the supporters sent the letter Wednesday, about a year after it first filed plans for the 86-bed hospital off Interstate 270.
The letter’s signers, a mix of local leaders, civic activists, residents and former state politicians, include Paul Chod, president of Minkoff Development Corp. in Germantown, and Robert Egan, president of High Point Farm in Clarksburg.
