Mary Alice Heuschel is running for hospital commissioner of Valley Medical Center, she is the best candidate for this position and the only candidate who is prepared to manage our tax dollars and make decisions affecting our health.
Mary Alice is an exceptional leader and administrator, qualities that are essential to the hospital commission. For her leadership as the superintendent of Renton Schools, she was selected as the 2011 Washington State Superintendent of the Year. She also manages more than $100 million each year as superintendent, and she’s the only candidate with experience managing tax dollars. In addition to being knowledgeable about education, Mary Alice is extremely knowledgeable about healthcare, she is the only candidate to serve on Valley Medical’s President’s Advisory Council, and she will be a commissioner who stands up for children and families if elected. Her extensive list of endorsements tell how much she is respected by the hospital community. The nurses of Valley Medical Center, local firefighters in Kent and Renton, and many doctors endorse her, as well as the mayors of Renton, Kent, Newcastle and Covington, and countless individuals.
Although Paul Joos is a quality ophthalmologist, technical medical skills are not needed on the hospital commission. Instead we need proven leadership, sound fiscal skills and an experienced administrator. Mary Alice holds all of these qualities and I hope you’ll join me in voting for her as commissioner of Public Hospital District No. 1 (Valley Medical Center).
