When asked for updates on a mold project at an EMS facility, Speaker 3 said experts will inspect the building on Tuesday and that he has taken air-quality and radon kits to collect samples. "I've got my own test," Speaker 3 said, adding he planned to take it shortly and provide results.

Speaker 3 reported that an employee had texted 15 minutes earlier saying her condition was caused by mold. "I've got 1 employee at the at the hospital right now who just text me 15 minutes ago says her condition is caused by mold," Speaker 3 said.

Speakers agreed results from the experts might be available within two days and discussed scheduling a tentative follow-up meeting to review findings.
