A recent article in the Grand Junction Sentinel, written by Janet Rowland, a member of the three-person Mesa County Board of Commissioners, discusses the progress its region has seen under the leadership of CEO John Sheehan.
Rowland notes that the community is seeing positive changes thanks to more transparency, a new psychiatric emergency department, telehealth services, and the hire of a new Chief Medical Officer.
