ROCHESTER - New Hampshire's Consumer Protection Advisory Commission will hold a public meeting at the Rochester Public Library Community Room later this month for the public to share with the commission their healthcare experience since the acquisition of Frisbie Memorial Hospital by HCA. The public is welcome to attend. Some of the issues that are expected to be discussed include:

How has HCA's acquisition of Frisbie Memorial Hospital impacted your healthcare, specifically on areas such as cost, access, quality, and transparency?

How is primary care access in your community? Has anything changed?
How could the Commission address consumers' healthcare concerns?

The Commission was established to consult with and advise the Attorney General relative to the proper administration and management of the Healthcare Consumer Protection Trust Fund which is designated solely for the purpose of benefiting healthcare consumers.

The meeting will begin with opening statements by the attorney general and commission members and then will be open to public comment.

The meeting will be held at Rochester Public Library Community Room on May 28 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
