LMHS board meetings now on TV

Lee Memorial Health System Board of Director meetings and Trauma District meetings will be held in the Lee County Public Education Center, 2855 Colonial Boulevard, Fort Myers. The monthly meetings, which begin at 6 p.m., will be televised in Fort Myers on Comcast Cable Channel 20. In Cape Coral, meetings can be seen on Comcast Cable Channel 17. The meetings will be broadcast live and it is anticipated they will be re-broadcast at a later date and time.

The LMHS directors hope that evening meetings will encourage public attendance, and that televising the meetings will benefit interested community members unable to attend the evening meetings.
