Carrington Convalescent <br /> Hospital proposes a once a week pick-up to be realistic. <br /> In granting a facility waiver, I believe this by no means <br /> will affect Carrington Convalescent Hospital' s ability <br /> to provide exemplary nursing care while concurrently <br /> satisfying Title 22 ' s requirements for the safe and <br /> proper disposal of infectious waste. <br /> If there are any questions regarding Carrington <br /> Convalescent Hospitals request for a waiver, please feel <br /> free to contact me at your convenience. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carr ngton C nvalescent Hospital <br /> 1 <br /> Dennis L.
