To the Editor:
The people who gave their all to “Our Community Hospital” deserve better!
The Private Board of our hospital, its lawyers, most of the hospital team were present when the question was asked: “Why has the CMS rating dropped from 4 to 1?” A Private Board member state she “did not know the reason!” This was (and still is) a $70 million question.
No one person on the hospital team wanted anything to do with the question. To be fair, three people were not present and I ask for them to be on record for their response. One is VP of Physician Services, one is the former Private Board president, and the last is the former Private Board president’s wife, that is now in charge of Human Resources (nepotism anyone?)
It has been six months since this question was asked. We the People have a right to know. Also, no surprise, we have not heard anything from the entire hospital management team and the departed EX CEO!
