Sullivan Solar Power launches Carlsbad program
Citywide solar program supports the creation of a strong solar community
Working toward creating a strong solar community out of Carlsbad, Sullivan Solar Power is offering incentives to all residential, commercial and municipal properties with a Carlsbad Solar Program. The innovative program allows residents to go solar for little to no upfront cost and to receive substantial cash-back awards for their involvement.
Sullivan Solar Power launched the comprehensive solar advocacy program in March to inspire residents in declaring energy independence and making a longstanding impact on the community. In order to create a critical mass, businesses and homeowners who partake can receive substantial cash-back incentives that are greater than the state rebate.
`Carlsbad's Solar Program is exclusive to Carlsbad homeowners, businesses and municipal projects.
Participants who sign up before the close of the program on July 1, 2011, will be eligible to receive cash-back incentives at a level that is twice the amount of the current California state rebate.
The community solar program is designed to incentivize Carlsbad residents to encourage their neighbors, groups and friends to go solar. According to the company, the more people who sign up, the greater the discounts will be.
Tri-City attracts top physicians
In the continuous pursuit of providing the most advanced healthcare to the community, Tri-City Medical Center recently opened the first of three specialty institutes and is adding top physicians to the medical staff. Among the most recent additions to the medical staff are Dr. John Regan, an internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeon and Dr. David Perkowski, a pioneer of off-pump or 'beating heart' coronary artery bypass surgery. Both doctors performed their first operations at Tri-City in December.
Tri-City's Cardiovascular Health Institute opened in December; the Orthopaedic and Spine Institute is scheduled to open in the spring followed by the Cancer Institute. All three centers of excellence will feature the patient-centric model of care, 'one stop shops' that combine prevention, the most advanced medical technology, and comprehensive clinical care. The institutes have already begun attracting prominent physicians to Tri-City.
Dr. Regan was part of the prestigious Texas Back Institute and is on staff at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles where he was the director of the Cedars-Sinai Institute for Spinal Disorders until 2005. Patients from around the world seek out Dr. Regan, in part, because of his extensive training.
Dr. David Perkowski is a cardiothoracic surgeon who was one of the first doctors in Southern California to perform off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery or “beating heart” surgery.
According to CEO Larry Anderson, Tri-City's vision is to be one of the best hospitals in the nation by 2015. “By adding these pioneers in medicine to our already outstanding medical staff, we are making significant progress to that end,” said Anderson.
