J.M. “Chuco” Farías announces Candidacy for Re-Election to Hospital District
My name is J.M. “Chuco” Farias and I am a candidate for the Maverick County Hospital District Board. I was an educator for 35 years, a head baseball coach, Assistant Athletic Director, and retired as a high school principal.
I am a co-owner of Trompos Investments LLC, and the owner of Austin Cheer Factory.
My wife, Rosantina, and my family support my dream of providing for our community the health services that they deserve. Many have heard me say, “Health services must keep pace with the growth of our community.” This is something I sincerely believe in and will strive to achieve.
For over 40 years, I have worked diligently to help our young generation, our middle aged, and our senior citizens.
As a member of the Maverick County Hospital District, I have contributed, with the help of others, to bringing about the following accomplishments:
• The very first renal (kidney) dialysis Clinic
• The very first oncology (cancer) Clinic
• The recruitment of over 20 doctors/specialists
• Supported an Indigent Program that has helped over 10, 000 patients
• Voted for the Ryan White (HIV) Program
• Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program
• Helped to establish the following: General Surgery, vascular surgery, urology, neurology, endocrinology, oncology, etc.
• Helped establish the Voucher Program
• Voted in favor of the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services
• Supported the Physicians Specialty Group
Note: There are still more programs and health services that I do not have room to list!
I am well aware that I represent everyone. What we have at the hospital district is available to all our citizens. I want people to know that in me, you have a friend who will make sure that your health needs are taken care of and that will go steps further to ensure that you never feel alone as if nobody cares.
In ending, I wish to inform you that for the 2016-2017 fiscal year there will be no tax rate increase, no health services will be cut, and we will have a balanced budget without using the reserves.
Therefore, I humbly ask for your vote and support during the early voting (Oct. 24 – Nov. 4) and during the election on Nov. 8, 2016.
Political announcement paid by the candidate.
