With only 1,124 votes being counted to date, 1,032 or 91.82 percent of those ballots were marked in favor of Coalinga Medical Center LLC. being permitted to rent or even purchase Coalinga Regional Medical Center. The group, headed by Dr. Gurpreet Singh, is poised to pump millions of dollars into the facility and its reopening. This vote was required in order for the group to be able to rent or purchase the hospital because it is publicly owned by the voters in the special Coalinga Regional Hospital District which encompasses more than just the residents of Coalinga.
