Citizens urged to attend medical needs meeting

If you have concerns about emergency medical care and other health care in Bowie, make plans to attend a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30 in the Bowie Community Center.
Citizens are invited to discuss ideas on what can be done to initiate a process for another hospital or emergency room in Bowie. As of Oct. 6, Bowie was once more without emergency medical care as the Faith Community Health System closed its emergency room operating just two weeks shy of its one-year anniversary.
Bowie has been without a local hospital or ER since early 2020 when Central Hospital closed. It had operated only a few years, coming in after Bowie Memorial Hospital closed on Nov. 16, 2015.
There will be a moderator and an agenda for discussion. While the meeting is an opportunity to explore all ideas related to this issue, the creation of a taxing hospital district will be discussed and is considered the only way to sustain and subsidize either a hospital or ER.
