Three local investigative reporters, two from Asheville Watchdog and one from the Asheville Citizen-Times, are continuing to dig deeply into the situation at Mission Hospital.  At LAF's February 28th Critical Issues forum, they'll present an update on their findings.

   The panelists are Peter Lewis, executive editor/reporter with Asheville Watchdog and a former senior writer, editor and columnist with The New York Times...

   Andrew Jones, investigative reporter with Asheville Watchdog and a former investigative reporter with the Asheville Citizen-Times.

   The forum will be moderated by David Feingold, Strategic Advisor to Asheville Watchdog and retired CEO of Blue Ridge Public Radio.

   Please note: Representatives from Mission Hospital and Dogwood Health also were invited to this forum.  Susan Mims of Dogwood Health had another engagement.  Nancy Lindell from Mission Health declined to participate "with the current group of reporters."

   We hope you will join us for this important program.  Be sure to bring your questions.
