"The Clemmons area is growing and there is no time like the present to plan for future growth." --- Martina H., Clemmons, NC

"It would be convenient to a large population and will encourage more development." --- Donald P., Clemmons, NC 

"We have shifted the proposed location for the hospital so that it is closer to the interstate to help keep hospital-related traffic and activity even further away from private homes. The new project gives Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools a chance to acquire land for a new elementary school and it provides more green space, bike trails, walking trails and a 10-acre lake." --- Sallye Liner, president of Forsyth Medical Center and chief operating officer of Forsyth Region.

 
"Forsyth Medical Center has shifted its site for a new Clemmons hospital closer to Interstate 40, away from the Waterford residential development. It has added green space, bike trails and even enough acreage for a future elementary school. If it sounds like Forsyth Hospital has been following recent planning meetings in Clemmons, they have." --- The Clemmons Courier, July 24, 2008.

"As a practicing physician for many years, newly relocated to this area, I have quickly grown to recognize the depth and quality of Novant's commitment to providing superior medical and surgical care to the region.  I can think of no other organization better suited to filling the pressing need for a facility in the proposed location." --- Sam, Lewisville, NC

"As a resident of Clemmons, I believe it is imperative that we seek opportunities to grow our community in accomodating the needs for our future.  Clemmons Medical Center would be a welcomed medical facility that would allow our community to have access to nearby medical assistance as we grow into the future.  Let's not wait until we are past the point in need community medical care to implement this great plan!" --- Judy, Clemmons, NC

"Clemmons is a growing population.  Covenience of quality health care would serve the community well.  I've been a patient at Medical Park on a couple of occasions.  I love the "small" hospital size and care that I received there.  I live close to Clemmons and would very much like the use of a Clemmons facility if the need arises.  Also, the patients of Davie would be afforded great care at a convenient low price."  --- Jennifer, Winston-Salem, NC

"I believe this is a needed facility and will make life better in the Clemmons and Lewisville areas.  Quick access to care is important for many in our community, especially those with chronic conditions and the elderly.  I believe this is the right thing to do for our community." --- Cathy, Clemmons, NC

"I have lived in Clemmons for 10 years and see a significant need for this facility due to the tremedous population growth in the area.  We especially need the ER, which will help relieve the overcrowding at FMC's ER." --- Katherine, Clemmons, NC

"I live in Davie County.  What took the other guys so long to respond to our needs?  They waited until Novant made a commitment to improve our well being.  Now they want to do something for Davie County.  Too little to late." --- Virginia, Mocksville, NC 

"I believe that there is a need for this type of facility in this location.  I also believe there would be more than adequate utilization and support of this facility.  History has shown that there was not adequate support and/or utilization of this type of facility in Davie County.  Therefore, I see no reason to build another hospital there." --- Dana, Advance, NC

"I personally canvassed Clemmons and Advance residents one Saturday and got over 5 pages of signatures voting for the hospital.  The majority of people were in favor in the proposal and felt it would serve community needs. --- Susan, Advance, NC

"This plan supports the views of the community by moving closer to the highway and away from the residential areas.  It will also provide the greenway, walking paths, etc. that the community is looking for in comprehensive plans for growth.  Great plan! It has my full support!" --- Deborah, Clemmons, NC

"This brings health care closer to home, school, sports and our daily lives when it really matters." --- Clara, Clemmons, NC

"I love the added bike and walking paths.  Great for the community, employees, and patient's families.  I think the potential school site and its proximity to the hospital will be wonderful as well." --- Rhonda, Clemmons, NC
