Council members discussed Advent Health's application for a certificate of need to add a cath lab at its Hendersonville-area facility near Fletcher and noted a public hearing on the application scheduled for the 21st at 10:00 a.m. at the Hendersonville Public Library.
One council member said they had already written a personal letter supporting the application and planned to attend the hearing to speak on behalf of the facility. A colleague asked whether the mayor could indicate the town supported the application when speaking at the hearing; council members signaled no objection to that plan.
Council members also acknowledged there is resistance from other local hospitals and asked for clarification on the specifics of the proposal during the hearing. The council did not take formal action on the town’s behalf at this meeting but indicated members would participate in the public hearing and advocacy in their personal or representative capacities.
