Dear members of the Board of Northshore Health, Before I begin, I want to make several things clear. I have no hidden agenda. My quite open agenda is transparency, fairness, and justice. Second, I make no claim to knowledge of the entire circumstances. Although I have not memorized the bylaws, I do have an extensive working knowledge of the process of peer review as it was done while I was medical director and on active staff. Finally, I have no animosity toward members of the board, administration, or Kimber in particular. Indeed, I have a long history of a positive working relationship with both board and administration.
