altman lake, we want to do what is right for the patients, for the people, in honor of the contribution these folks made. >> i completely agree. there was a period of years where we experimented with trying to consolidate to the greatest extent possible our finance team. that included for a number of years, when the budget deficits were high, we eliminated the finance director in the controller's position that existed at laguna honda, and attended to consolidate the finance director function with the san francisco general hospital, for both hospitals and the controller function also. when we discovered in that process, while many of the accounting activities at laguna honda are fairly static, not that difficult to manage, there is a need for a greater finance presence around issues such as this. in many cases, detailed transactions do not get the oversight they need. so we now have a finance director position included in our budget for laguna honda on an ongoing basis separate and apart from san francisco general. we also have a senior financial analyst to assist in that management. bot
