TO: Friends of River Hospital and BudMan Supporters
Enclosed are 114 checks for a total of $5,850 and one check for $6,252.77. This is the money WE raised for River Hospital. I would like you to know that I had to return five checks valued at $1,800 to supporters who wanted their money returned and I quote "THEY NEVER WANT TO GET ANOTHER PIECE OF LITERATURE FROM RIVER HOSPITAL, because of the River Hospital board's decision to close the skilled nursing facility and some comments were that the River Hospital was in the people business and they should take care of the needy. They believe that the River Hospital has let the River community down and I AGREE. The BudMan has raised somewhere between $70,000 and $75,000 for the River Hospital. Not a big donor, BUT A DONOR NO MORE!!
I am requesting that the money we have turned in today be used in the Skilled Nursing Facility whether to pay an employee one hour or to keep a patient for one day (it should not go to a doctor or for a piece of equipment for someone who will be atthe River Hospital only 9 days per year, especially at this time). I say "WE" because WE of the River community who have donated the money to the BudMan. I'm just the dummy that Jumps.
I would like to THANK ALL THE BUDMAN SUPPORTERS and at the same time I feel that I have let you down.
Sincerely yours,
Good For You BudMan

I new the money raised should have gone to the Dock Fund, something that the people really need.....
Surely you're kidding. Good Job Bud ? So you get a group of people together to allegeldy send in checks as a donation to the hospital, who know full well at the time, that there has been a decision made to close the "take care of my family for me wing". Then the "donors" suddenly decide "em-mass" to ask for their checks back (and coincidently the checks werent yet cashed or turned it. This "hospital" and especially the "dump my relatives on society wing" have been a complete waste of money from the beginning, and I dare any "supporter" to actually go there for anything other than a blood test, or to visit a relative that they can't be bothered with to take care of at home.
Could this be the beginning of the end for a hospital that should have been converted to an urgent care facility when Samaritan closed it?
You can't run a business on donations forever.
(Yes, This IS a business) Nice idea, having a hospital in our community, just doesn't make fiscal sense when there is a real hospital 30 minutes away.
Budman, great effort over the years, you are to be commended.
Reminds me of a friend who donated MILLIONS to a hospital in Rochester,(they had a summer home here) in fact- even build a cancer wing onto it after her husband died there of cancer. Within 5 years, they ( the doctors who ran it) made the decision to close the hospital.
To this day, she regrets giving them a dime.
A hospital, like every other business must, at some point, become financially self sufficient,
otherwise, just like any business, it will go bankrupt and close.
I am not kidding and quit calling me Shirley!
I know Bud Man and for you to suggest that he is not being honest and that he orchestrated this boycott is ridiculous. I have written Bud Man checks in previous years.....they have never been cashed until well after the polar dip....
If Bud Man has a family memeber either employed by, or in the nursing home, his actions are suspect. If Bud man has a business that maeks a profit off of the hospital he is suspect. If he is totally free and clear of all conflicts, than it is nice that he helped fund a project that is not a very good idea, and he should be commended for his efforts. NEVER TRUST A MAN IN NEED. Look it up.
Maybe there are some severe Medicaid cuts coming and they wanted to get out of that business before the shoe drops from NY State.
Seems like $75,000.00 per patient per year, is a lot of money for New York to come up with, when there are a lot of other needy people, like the homeless, who get nothing.
If you've lived in River Hospital for EIGHT YEARS, you're not really that sick.
I will agree the way the hospital board served up that shit sandwich leaves a lot to be desired...
I know all to well about conflicts....
I also know that you are in a desperate "NEED" to make your point known.
So can you be TRUSTED?
Never Trust An Anonymous Comment. Don't look it up....I just made that up....
Yes, it sucks that the skilled nursing facility is closing. But does no one understand that if the board keeps it open then the WHOLE facility will have to close???? Is nobody paying attention to that fact?? Let's see, close the nursing facility now and save the hospital OR keep it open and close everything (including the nursing facility) next year???
Furthermore, this rally that was organized makes another point - the person holding the sign saying "shame on you EJ Noble" - this just goes to show how uninformed all these anti-River hospital are!!! It hasn't been EJ Noble in over a decade!!!! That whole group just lost all credibility with me. I have to commend the VOLUNTEER board for making such a difficult decision so that there is a local hospital here if I (heaven forbid) ever need it!!!!!
JC:
1) I don't care one way or the other if the bay hospital stays open, provided that no ambulance accidently takes a patient in need there, instead of to a real hospital for an emergency.
2) I don't care if the BudMan collects a whole buch of checks "dummy checks or otherwise" provided he is not conflicted and/or scamming the community about his "honest intent".
What I do mind is a hospital full of employyes and managment that somehow think that they are expempt from complying with, and or living by the payments that have been decided by the state of ny for the job they are performing, and are apparently good enbough for many assisted care facilities throughout the state and country for that matter. If there is to much money being spent on overpaid and underworked staff, then get rid of some of them or cut their pay, If there are for example custodians to take out the trash, then let the nurses clean up after themselves, etc.
And lastly, if theer is money that needs to be chipped in on behalf of the residents, than the families should pony up the cash to take care of them, or take them out of the facitlity, to reduce the work load.
It is not societies (my) responsibility to over pay, uderworked staff to take care of somebody I don't know, in a building I will never enter. Health care is not a "right" it is a business just like every other business in "The Bay" that does not have the opportunity to have it's hand in the govt. cash machine. Make it work, or close it.
Can someone from the hospital BOD reply back to this Blog, if there was any concerted attempt to have an outside licensed Nursing Home contractor take over the facility that could add it to their portfolio of operations, hence becoming more efficient than present. there are operators that make a living doing this. Please Reply, !!

Steve...
unfortunately no board member from the Hospital, Town or Village will openly reply to this blog. In other words they will either only lurk or post anonymously.
JC
thanks, and a BIG thanks to Bud Man whom i support every year. just to verify, i too see the check come through after the event every year. if there's one "honest, well intentioned" guy that has supported multiple efforts for the River Hospital that guy is Bud Man. A lot of us know the efforts he put forward, and to be questioned is seriously out-of-line.
thanks Bud, Steve
It's a business and needs to be run like one... if the long term care unit is threatening the total operation then close down long term care.
before people make comments, they should get the facts. this ceo and board have almost broke our hospital. money to save snf was and is ready for the asking.the whole hospital is losing money because of your ceo and good old boy board.
1:41, talk about facts, let's see you back up those statements. Looks like good ole fiscal responsibility to me! "Money to save snf was and is ready for the asking" Get your fat checkbook out 1:41 because we the public are drying up.
Just to set the record straight my husband does not nor has he ever worked at River Hospital nor does any family member. He has no one in the Skilled nursing Facility nor does he have a business that profits from the River Hospital.
All he has ever done is raise money each year for the past 10 years for the River Hospital. Its a lot of hard work on both his part and mine along with several friends that help us with these fund raisers.
Is the public aware that if the Polar Bear Dip raised $50,000 each year that $25,000 of that money came from Bud and Marcia Graves alone. Two jumpers out of eighty raised half of the money, that is quite an accomplishment.
Also to set the record straight each jumper turns their money into the Friends of River Hospital either the day of the dip and after the dip if they are waiting for money that has been pledged and they have not received as yet. Each jumper starts collecting money far in advance of the dip. Bud in fact started raising funds in October of 2009 towards his 2010 jump. The news of the Skilled Nursing Facilty closing came about 2 weeks before the Polar Bear Dip so our supporters were not aware of this closing at the time they sent us their checks.
Feds saved another place north of here in the same mess. I talk to gov. officals personally! You have to ask for help to get it? I don,t have a fat checkbook, but I do have a brain to see what is going on. Acute side is the side that is bleeding big money. The day that the news hit the paper, 4 of the 7 people in acute were waiting to get into snf. Fully staffs acute for 2 days of surgery, if lucky, bleeds money. Their are problems with snf money, big ones, but to hide this from everybody until it is to late is against the very point that RH stands for! Read RH web site!!!!!!!! PS This is already a battle to save the whole hospital. Guess good old boys haven't told you that yet.
JC Overpaid! CNA,The ones who do the work $8-10/hour. Would you wipe asses for that! Dave almost pays as much at the sub shop around the corner. Overpaid, some of these people worked for nothing for months to save RH. Overpaid, you mean the administration don't you?
sorry JC it was ananymous I respond to, not you,overpaid. ps. I dont work there.
If the Skilled Nursing Facility made up XX% of the hospital's total budget and staffing, is the CEO and his support staff taking an equal cut in pay and benefits? Will they reduce the size of the board proportionately?
Why pay the same money to a CEO to run something two thirds the size it was? Why will he have the same sized office staff?
This same type of overstaffing and over spending put the hospital in the red the first time around. Doesn't anyone pay attention to the lessons of history?
JTick
what is overpaid? do you know what administrators there make? I didn't think so. and what about the "good ol boys" board? oh, they are a volunteer board!! get your facts because you are overpaid!
8:39 get your facts because you are overpaid? What "Da" does that mean! WE all know its a volunteer board, but since the place is going broke, maybe they should volunteer to leave!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the administration, sound like wall street. Get paid for destroying RH. When private business goes down nobody gets paid.
12:02 made sense. Why doesn't a pro board respond to "them their" facts. Cat got your tongue!
12:02 and 12:38 your sock puppeting.
As for "gov't help", don't you think that Nellie and her son Dan, who have alot of connections with government officals have tried to get help for the hospital. They got gov't help for the operating room project. They also got help from rural developement(thank you scott). Still haven't seen any facts. Tell us how much $$, where and how the "Feds saved another place north of here in the same mess". The only obvious facts are what we read daily about how so many other north country hospitals/facilities are struggling with snf's and making ends meet creating inevitable layoffs and cutbacks. Now those government officials are making more cuts to north country hospitals to balance the state's three men in a room budget.
11:16 Nellie and Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you mean Ben Moore don't you, or our you saying Nellie is still the boss. If your statement is true, I guess we don't need Mr Moore! That should pay for about 1/3 of SNF shortfall. That's if you believe the "FALSE" Budget numbers he and Joe put out? Lots more to come, by the time this is over everybody involved in this farce will be gone.Hopefully Nellie, Steve and Dan will be back in charge and able to save the whole River Hospital from what these people have done to it or it will be alot of runs to Samaritan for everybody.
To Ben Moore and the Yes votes for closer on the board. Resign now with what little face you have left to save.
I have a ?. If the food staff is gone because snf closer, how are they going to feed 3/4 patiences in acute. Call the sub shop!
today I was in the acute dept. checking on a friend, 5 beds filled, and from what the nurse said 3 were waiting for snf at another place. 2 beds will not keep that dept. open?
the real culprit here is medicare/ medicaid. we pay into all our working lives and when these older folks needed it most, it wasn't enough to keep them in their facility. government ineptness has screwed them, not our local hospital.
what to ----! we lose all these jobs, we prove we do not give a ---- about our parents and grandparents. town and village board say not one peep. young people can care less. sooner or later everybody needs that hospital. go to rh and look around. it doesn't take a very big brain to see under the leadership of rh,they have no idea on how to save the whole hospital. snf is there excuse. wake up abay and save are hospital. in 02/03 a group of people saved rh. put them in charge again before it is to late.
today 3 people in acute, 2 snf, 1 acute. no surgery. 1 patient, no surgery, full staffed, guess Ben will have to write that off against snf!
wonder what he will do after May 22? Wake up people, your losing your hospital!
USDA has the money under "job retention" part of the federal stimulus program. All RH has to do is ask for it. This proves Moore and Russell have other plan for our hospital! Would be nice if they would let the rest of us in on it. Maybe the plan is to make it into a urgent care for SMC. Abay rally to save our hospital.
OUR RESDENTS ARE ALLMOST GONE ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS TO KEEP OUR RH OPEN FOR OUR KIDS AND FAMILY GOD FOR BID IF WE EVER NEED IT IN A LIFE OR DEATH
don't get it people! Moore and Russells leadership is going to close our hospital. They have no clue.
They didn't tell the community there was a problem until RH SNF was closing. USDA(United States Department of Agriculture) has the money to save 44 jobs, 27 to 30 homes of our most vulnerable people. That's not even counting the multiplier effect of these jobs and visitors to snf on the local economy. This was the top rated snf in jefferson county by a large amount. Rated by the ny DOH. One patient in acute today fully staffed. Excuse me, actually 3, but 2 should be in snf, but Moore doesn,t want to put them on the other side(looks bad).Abay(community) needs to remove Moore and Russell before RH is a urgent care.
IT IS ONLY TO LATE IF THE COMMUNITY GIVES UP!!!!!!!
ABAY community! we have been played by Moore and Russell! Get rid of them. Rally to save our hospital. Nellie did it once with community support. Take out the trash and give her support again to save "OUR" River Hospital! YOUR LIFE or a friend or family members life could depend on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To your sock puppeting! Told you money was available for the asking. USDA has it! Guess Moore and "Good old boy board" didn't tell you that either.
Come on DE, step up to the plate and be specific. The community will follow through if you provide enough facts(true facts that is). Russell is a volunteer, Moore gets paid the big $$. Keep slamin um and we'll have nobody there, or are you and yours going to fill the shoes? Easy to critize from the sidelines.
Your right. Moore gets paid the big bucks to keep the place going. Now we know from a us congressman that if Moore had done his job, snf probably could be saved. He told us that he had exhausted all avenues. He never even talked to anyone in any department of the USDA! When a average Joe like myself found out, you think a overpaid administrator could have at least ask for help?
what is Ben"s vision for the hospitals future
Come on DE(10:50pm)Thats whats wrong with the whole country. If you throw the bums out, who will do the job? Don't you think there are other people in this country who can do these jobs. Pres.,senator, congressman, governor,CEO, throw them all out when they are failures. Ben Moore didn't do his job, so throw the bum out!!!!!!!
u 2 lovers should get a room
Ben Moore next betrayal on front page of TI Sun.
Last year polar dip raised enough money from the community to buy the Polar Express(bus). Now he will sell it for pennies on the dollar. Seems to me it belongs to the community. Maybe it should stay put to see if the community can come up with an alternative for snf. But that will not happen because it is not Ben's plan.
look at any federal senator or congressman web site and probably the first thing it talks about is job creation or "job retention". also talks abouts grant and other money to do this with. Guess RH (Ben Moore) wasn't interested in any help to save our community hospital. Wonder what his plan is?
Have not seen a answer to March 31, 11:34 PM. What is B.M.'s vision (plans) for our hospital?
Maybe SMC paid him to destroy RH.
was in snf today. 6 left. Acute had 3, 2 are for snf. one patient in acute(surgery) again. 4 or 5 nurses on that side. Making lots of money with them numbers, right MR. Moore? Working in snf empty room, electrical and painting I think? Wonder what B.M. plan is? Think he could tell the rest of us! Also 11 cars in a empty parking lot. If not for ER they could nail the plywood over the front door. Wake up ABay Before it's to late!!!!
was in snf today. packed up a patient to move away from home and family. I wish everybody could feel what I saw on that face! How shameful we should all feel. Sound like money was/is available from federal government for the asking. If this is true, Ben Moore should resign or be fired. In hospital terminology B.M. doesn't stand for C.E.O., it stands for something completely "different"!
All we hear is all this "sounds like $$$$ is or was available". Someone needs to prove that's not more BS from anon posters as was proven before.
All right you brain dead -------! I talked to a US congressman, Whom told me in a meeting the money was/is available. The money could come from the USDA(US dept of Agriculture) job retention program as part of the stimulus package. As this information came to lite, this congressman's office contacted RH and told to call the USDA. As confirmed by contact with the USDA, River Hospital didn't contact them in any way, shape or form. That means, for you challenged people, that B.M. "did not" do his job! Also, they don't give it if you don't ask for it!!!! How can I prove it unless you force B.M. and the "stupid eight" to ask for it.
to 11:33. where has anybody proved the money not there!
i have yet to see a pro-board or anyone else disprove gov. monies aren't available. please explain second sentence in 11:33?
11:33 If you want someone to prove fed money available, take out shit(B.M.) and let anybody run RH because they will do a better job then that CEO!
When Darryl A. and Addy Russell offered to help they were rudely told to keep their noses out of RH by a board member whom doesn't live here or care about the people in our community! I believe the statement was "GO BACK TO ALBANY AND CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS AND KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF OUR BUSINESS". Well I am a life long resident, and we don't need some rich S.O.B. coming up here on a fishing trip to close down part of our hospital without even trying to save it!
P.S. To another board member, find another fishing buddy, your grandfather would be ashamed!!!
to JC: I suggest a different second phase: I do not support the CEO and Board and want them to resign, so the community can save RH again!
to JC Phrase not phase, sorry! Thanks
All I can see is alot of Anonymous comments if you feel so strongly could you not at the very least leave you name? Maybe being Anonymous is part of the problem we are facing. It seems to me that a community should act like one and stand together not "Anonymous".
Colette Cross
Given the option....people will take the path of least resistance......this is the case of voicing opinions.....anonymously! Good to see you Colette
Unfortunately some people have to protect their own business from the Abay backlash that can happen to anybody. If your worried that these "Anonymous" Statements are not true and RH is important enough to you to care, why don't you do the work that this person has done to confirm or disprove the facts stated! If the community would have worked together(like one) there would have been more people at the rally and 2 hospital meetings. Also this person who had a meeting with Bill Owens was there for another reason, but used that chance to bring up RH which turned into a good discussion about RH. I appreciate your concerns, but sometimes Anonymous is used for a reason. Jim C. is talking about the village lies, why to then is it a reach to think RH has the same problem. I personally am very disappointed in Abay reaction to the problems at RH. Lots of lifes have been saved by that ER that would have never made SMC or Claxton. But I beg everybody in this community to look at their hospital and to see the complete books which haven't even been made available to all of the board members.
"Miracle on the River" has now turned into "Deception on the River".
The above anonymous comment raises some very good points. But unfortunately the comment loses it's punch when the poster of this comment did not go one step further and give more validity to it by adding their name at the end.....
J.C. Did you read the first line? I don't care who says it, as long as it is the truth! Haven't seen anybody disprove any comment yet. Anonymous again!
My bad....sometimes I skim a lengthy comment as yours and don't pick up on all the content or forget what was stated first. I can appreciate your position...
thanks J.C.,I am Very grateful that you use your time and money to do ABAY CIRCUS. I just wish more people would read and blog. Thank you again!!!!!!!Still Anonymous~!
Read letter to the editor in TI Sun, Just shows most of the community does even know the facts! Also Remaining employees of RH have their heads stuck in the sand. Government offered help and RH turned it down. I guess in a year or two, when everybody loses their job and hospital, I will be able to tell them I told you so. That doesn't make me happy. My ? is why can,t we see the books to prove me wrong. My answer, because I am right. ABAY community band together for answers, what will it hurt if I wrong for the community to know all the facts about RH financial position!
Yup, I heard closure plan started because of medicaid reimbursements and state funding being cut. From an employee who helped RH get back on its feet after Samaritan bailed. Nice of them to tell us of their closure plan in such an abrubt way. Not the River "Community" way. And yes, we've used RH emergency room. Beats the long wait in Watertown when you don't really have that time to spare.
Come on ABAY! Rally and take back our hospital before we have to save it again, like after SMC. It wouldn't hurt for our community to see the books. Come on B.M. and Russell, show the community the "TRUTH". Love the comment about what B.M. stands for in hospital terms.
After reading all these entries people need to understand the acute side includes the operating room, acute(sick or injured) and swing beds(patients waiting for SNF). Take out the swing beds and the acute side usually has 1-3 patients, if lucky. Another way to look at this is the whole second floor fully staffed for that. Also all CNA leave with SNF, so wages go from CNA($8-10/hour) to LPNS or RNS($12 to 18/Hour) to do the work. Also A CNA from SNF was always on code for the ER. Who's doing that job now. Let the community see the books for the whole hospital! Nobody saying SNF wasn't losing some money. Question is how much and could the community or gov. programs help? But because of Ben Moore and some members of the board we may never know!
latest info! 3 in SNF, 2 in accute,1 should be in SNF. Other patience going home tomorrow. So that leaves the one who should be in SNF. Probably no surgery tomorrow? Fully staffed acute for no patiences(one left should be on other side). Hey Mr. B.M. and JOE BLOW, now that's making money for River Hospital! Also heard The River Hospital Foundation Board has mostly left! The River Hospital Foundation Directer and 2nd in command resigned! Also heard 1 "YES" vote on the hospital board resigned! Haven't confirmed it all yet, but sounds like RH about to fall apart. Come on ABAY, Time for a rally at RH to see the books(TRUTH).
MIRACLE ON THE RIVER IS NOW DECEPTION ON THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
was not there 66 comments on the other day!
Jim,
You need to please put this back on page 1! Abay will have to save RH by winter. B.M. and friend are plundering what's left. Abay needs to take action now because summer money is coming into RH. If we wait for winter, B.M. and friends will have blown all of that money to. Much more to write, but I will not waste my time if it is buried in your archive section!
I have read this stuff long enough. I have a question for all you against Ben Moore and Joe Russell. Where was Nellie for the year the board was discussing the closing of the SNF Unit?
Answer: n She was int he board meeting!!!!!! So my question is: Why did she not speak up then??????
No, she waited for the decision to be made and then against DOH rules,she spoke up.
RH has many dedicated employees that are working hard to make RGH successful. They need your support.
Proud of what! Throwing out 27+ elderly out of their homes, firing 44 co-workers of the top rated skilled nursing unit in jefferson county. Not using every option to save SNF(free money-Government money). We will see what you post after you lose your job, and leave this area with no hospital. Also their where four no votes on the board, not just Nellie like B.M. wants everybody to believe.
P.S. Sounds like B.M. is giving out some sweet deals to new employees, and still no answer to what happen to the Foundation. Open you eyes and see whats happening around you, or you are just as guilty as B.M. and J.R. and friends!
Proud RH employee,
Didn't you answer your own question, "against DOH rules". Question should be "Why didn't B.M. ask for help for the community and government"? Community built RH, and the government had the money for RH. B.M. and Joe Russell have other plans and didn't want anybody to change their plans. It would be nice if they told the rest of us what they are.
Proud RH employee.
Wonder if B.M. and Joe cut your job when the government offered the money so you could keep you job, you would feel the same love for them!
Proud of what,
A hospital CEO that want community support, but will not inform them of anything. Lets see the books, what would it hurt to show the community. What our his plans for RH. Only public meeting was to tell what was going on and why. All I heard was bla, bla, bla from B.M.. # went form $350,000 to 850,000 or even more? SMC must know RH is about to collapse because they are hammering the Sun with ads! If you want community support you have to be open and honest and listen to community concerns.
Why didn't RH take the government money to give time to solve problems.?
I wonder what people like Cindy Simpson, Harriet (Burch) Burris, Will Conner, Pat Lalonde, and other long term employees that worked so hard to save the hospital really think to themselves. My guess is they are very discouraged with what has taken place with the hospital. Knowing that the CEO didn't use every available avenue to save part of the hospital, they have worked so hard to save.
IF the remaining RH employee believed in what is going on, they would be defending B.M. position. You barely hear a peep! But they will be balling when we lose the hospital and their jobs. So don't feel sorry for them because they are now part of the cover-up with their silence!
I her doc Joy gets a free room at the Riveredge and free meals on operating days!(eye doctor) And that on top of his pay. Nice little extra at hospital expense.
I wonder what people think when they donate their hard earned money to RH, and hear BM is giving it out as bribes???? No wonder the foundation imploded!
FYI: not one single administrator lost there job!! Why does RH still need a administrator of a nursing home when there is none=Beth Barnes, Jayetta Goodlow was in charge of the Day care and nursing home and yet she is still there....Why are they paying out a shit load of money for the ASU consulant..you think Joy gets perks, they fly her home every weekend, rent her a car, pay for all of her meals, rents and furnishes her a appt, plus housekeeping has to go clen it...and on and on for her. the way they spend money is amazing....having that building on rt 12 with the business office is a big waste of money there...they want water...we have a bulb out, we area out of tp and yes that is true!!! Good luck we will see come the fall if more people will loose there jobs!
Dear FYI
Please explain last two sentences! I knew about this, great letter, keep it coming, WE have to take out the trash and save RH.
I guess this ASU consulant comes from Syracuse hospital. Is not that where Ben Moore came from? WOW!!!!!! Doesn't that smell or give you thoughts of impropriety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With all the question stuff going on at River Hospital, I would donate a penny to them for Ben Moore to blow. Somebody needs to start a savings account for donation to "SAVE RIVER HOSPITAL/Round Two"
Newest talk,
Cindy is leaving clinic? She sees half the people that come to clinic. She the one most people want to see. Why is she leaving, could it be Ben and the board that she doesn't believe in? Losing her is a big blow to health care in ABAY. If they pushed her out, what will that cost RH.
RH falling apart under Ben and board, make them resign! Save our hospital!
Cindy has questioned authority and how things will be done maybe that is why she is leaving....she asks the questions that Wil doesn;t want to answer and yes Wil is as bad as Ben Moore....he will say one thing to your face while getting the paperwork to get you gone!!!
Could it be the fact that she is getting married and retiring!!!!
I heard the same thing several months ago...Do not think her plans for the future are hinged on anything sinister that the Hospital BOD may or may not have planned....
Sometimes when people put their papers in for retirement it has the effect of setting them free.
maybe she didn't want to drown or be connected with RH!
all's quiet on the war to save our hospital, but lots of talk. people finding out about the truth! soon, everybody will be needed to save RH from b.m. and friends.
River Hospital has the building on Route 12. the foundation is located there. not one single person up there can change a lightbulb...if they get low on TP they call housekeeping and say they have none. the hospitla gets 5 gallon bottles of water delivered and Gary G is in the main building EVERYDAY and cant carry one up but if they start to get low there are 12 different phone calls being made and 12 different trips being done to get them water...Gary will not pay for frontenac to deliver to the other building....that costs too much but the running between the two buildings at least twice a day doesn't????? They are not done laying people off. they fired a nurse becasue she said to this ASU consulant I am not qualified to work in the ASU area, this Emlily went crying to Wil and she got fired on the spot and escorted out of the building! Plus the ASU consulant is not complaining how hot it is and she needs a fan or A/C in her apt.....I bet the hospital will pay for that too.She is making money why cant she go buy one!!! She has her nose in EVERY dept in the building and not making friends!!! Mark my words....more layoffs come the fall!
thanks to the person who wrote the last letter! AS I said, people are learning what is going on slowly, but when they look they see things like the above letter. Save River Hospital from B.M. and friends.
