STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – State Representative David Cook announced today that he and a bipartisan group of twelve other Arizona State Legislators, sent a letter to the Arizona Department of Health Services seeking solutions for rural community hospitals.

“As investors in many industries, including healthcare, have flocked to our business-friendly state, we are finding that government hasn’t kept up with technology and advancement of today’s medical field within its guidelines and procedures,” said Representative Cook, who authored the letter. “We are seeking ways to work with private industries and government oversight departments in ways to update procedures and rules to allow for expanded healthcare options and improve the quality of healthcare that people in rural Arizona have access to. We look forward to the Department’s response and stand willing and ready to work with them to problem solve in this area.”

A copy of the legislators’ letter is attached.

David Cook is a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives serving Legislative

District 7, which includes Pinal, Gila, Coconino, and Navajo Counties. Follow him on Twitter at
