Minden residents decry hospital color scheme

The gripes have nothing to do with health care. The folks think the color scheme on the new Minden Medical Center is - well - garish.

The Carson Valley Health Center Liaison advisory board and Carson-Tahoe Hospital trustees voted to repaint the center in something more subdued, The (Gardnerville) Record-Courier reported on Wednesday.

They'll work with community leaders on the exact shade, but promise that it will be more tasteful than the multi-color scheme that some critics say is more suited to Circus Circus than a professional building.

It's not known how much the change will cost.

Ironically, another color scheme was rejected in 1995. Hospital officials thought it was too pastel.
