Remarks made at the OVCH Emergency Department Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
“When the hospital was purchased locally, we sent out a
questionnaire to a cross section of the Ojai Valley asking
what do you want out of this hospital, overwhelmingly the
response was an up-to-date, capable, efficient, emergency
room – this now has become a reality.”
Martin Pops. M.D.
Chair, Community Memorial Health System
Board of Trustees
“The Emergency Department means more than just a
building, it really means that we can provide, for as far
into the future that we can see, state-of-the-art care to the
residents of the Ojai Valley.”
Gary Wilde
President & CEO, Community Memorial Health System
“On behalf of the city of Ojai, I would like to acknowledge
the incredible generosity of so many people, but of course
starting with Chilant Sprague, and also the generosity of all
of our donors to the hospital. Because of your generosity
you have given the gift of life to our community.”
Sue Horgan
City of Ojai Council Member
“Today’s celebration of the Emergency Department
ribbon cutting is a clear example of what is possible when
the community supports a project that is deemed to be
vitally necessary.”
Tim Wolfe
Chair, Ojai Valley Community Hospital Foundation
“I don’t think I can convey to you the true excitement
and devotion that we all feel for this new Emergency
Department – we are no longer a room.”
Betsy Patterson, M.D.
President, Ojai Valley Emergency Physicians Group
“Hurray!!! What a much anticipated, marvelous day this is!
Chilant Sprague is surely cheering wildly that her favorite
project is now complete and ready to serve the residents
of beautiful Ojai.”
Dan Sprague
