IVHD pledges forward path despite Measure N falling short of two-thirds threshold

Imperial Valley Healthcare District leaders say they will continue efforts to strengthen regional medical services after Measure N fell short of California’s two-thirds threshold for passage. Preliminary results show 54.79% support and 45.21% opposition, with votes still being counted after last week’s election. The proposed parcel tax would have funded local hospitals and emergency healthcare services; final results await certification.
