FERNICOLA Issue Analyst 202/457-4882 MEMORANDUM TO: Julia Sutherland FR: Karen Fernicola il-all- QA.- RE: Hospital plan As we discussed, attached is a copy of our hospital strategy plan, in which you will find the tactic of introducing -- or strengthening -- the discussion of "sick hospitals" in HBI media tours. Please look over the plan, and then perhaps we can talk about the specific messages that Gray may add to his standard spiel (such as a reference to the JCAH ruling, and how it's just a band-aid that masks the real problem of IAQ in hospitals; the kinds of gunk found in hospital ventilation systems and the possible consequences to hospital workers and patients; etc.). By next week sometime, I'd like to have a written draft of talking points for Gray on this issue. I've also enclosed a copy of the American Hospital Association officers, and the cities in which they're located, to coordinate with HBI's media tours. Give me a call after you've looked this over. Thanks. cc: Martha Rinker TI DN 0025927
