You can see Doctors Medical center is in san pablo the next nearest hospital is in richmond. Ktvus Claudine Wong just talked to the countys supervisor about the options left on the table. Reporter theres not a lot. We are in front of Doctors Medical center right now and the doors are open but the big question right now is will they stay open. It is fair to say that supporters are holding on to hope with both hands. Because it is slipping away. At this point, there arent many options to consider. There was a meeting this morning at this hospital and its future at the center of the discussion. I spoke to the director who says he is still fighting to keep this hospital open but the county cannot do it on its own. Two plans, we continue to search for a multi Party Solution to save Doctors Hospital. It would involve other hospitals as well as the county. We also talked about Meeting Health care needs in west county if the hospital were to close such as building an urgent care center. Now the hospital serves about 80,000 uninsured and uninsured people. The nearest hospital is in richmond. And it only has 80 beds. And Going Forward there must be a redesigned Sustainable Health care Delivery System in west contra costa. For example urgent and primary Care Services could be expanded so residents dont have to rely on Emergency Rooms for their care. So, thats where we stand now. Either this hospital stays open or you have to turn to urgent care for it to stay open you need to find a group that will get together to come up with the millions of the dollars needed to keep this hospital afloat. Time is running out. If they do not find a solution by june, the doors to this hospital will close in july. Live in san pablo, Claudine Wong, ktvu news.
