“With the purchase of these bonds, we now have the necessary capital to begin construction on our planned 8,000 square foot diagnostic imaging center,” said Hospital CEO Raymond Hino. ”We have already selected a general contractor, JLC Construction out of Santa Rosa, California. With an anticipated start date for construction in November, the planned completion date for the new DI Center will be near the beginning of the year in 2011. “We are especially appreciative to United Healthcare for their support.”
