RE: Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital

Dear Attorney General Lockyer,

Adequate and local health care is something that is important to everyone, including Playa Vista.  That is why we are supportive of the efforts by you and the local residents and businesses to encourage Tenet health Care to keep Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital open.

DFM is an integral part of the community, and it's closure would be a loss to everyone in the area.  We are pleased to read that Tenet may be having a change of mind regarding closing the hospital.

As Playa vista continues to build new homes and welcome new residents, we look forward to working with local leaders to ensure that our medical system remains first class.  If you have questions or comments, please feel free to call me at (310) 448.4695.

Sincerely,
Tina Choi
Vice President , Public Affairs
