The comment came from Radford Community Hospital CEO Skip Lamb.
The E-Mail memo was allegedly written by Montgomery Regional Hospital CEO
Gene Wright to his staff.
A state health department hearing officer calls the memo "offensive" and
"clearly inappropriate."
The September 1995 memo became part of the public record today in Richmond
in the latest battle over who gets to build a new hospital.
The memo is the latest in the battle between Radford Community Hospital
and the Columbia/HCA team of Montgomery and Pulaski hospitals for patients
involved a petition drive by Radford Hospital.
The petition asks the state to allow Radford Community to a build new
replacement hospital.
Today's flap was over a memo allegedly from Montgomery Regional CEO Gene
Wright that offered 20 dollars to any employee who would rip down one of those
petitions and bring it to him.

posted at the college.
The memo says the Radford hospital petitions are at various stores and
churches.
Quoting now, "I will give you 20- dollars for each original brought here to
me."
The memo ends with the statement "This is a fight for future dominance."
Radford Community's attorneys asked for an immediate state investigation and
sanctions.
State hearing officer Raymond Perry says he has NO grounds to revoke
Montgomery Regional's license, but would like an explanation.
Raymond Perry says he'd like a letter of apology written to Radford
Community.
Montgomery Regional's attorney declined to explain the memo today, but told
Perry he understood why he was upset.
But the memo wasn't the focus of the hearing--
Today was the latest step in Radford's quest for a state certificate to
build its new replacement hospital. That plan has been scaled down some, but
