“At the open meeting last week on the hospital, Mr. Cheney was on record as saying there never was a 2019 plan,” Nackard said. As many remember, there were plans to renovate and expand the Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC) in its current location. Other improvements listed included renovations of surgery rooms, renovations of West 3 and renovations of the first floor. In its entirety, between work to renovate and expand the Flagstaff campus and other NAH facilities across the region, the estimated cost at the time was placed at just $331,072,500. The [old] plan was to improve the medical facilities, not just Flag and Cottonwood, but [add] ambulatory care centers in northern Arizona,” Nackard said.
