reports everywhere. this is about a perfect storm. the greed of vidant that came in and said in a contract that he would expand the hospital, but in fact, they worked to close it. and they reneged on our agreement that we had in mediation with the office of civil rights. then you have the failure of the government to expand medicaid. in fact, the mayor wrote the governor and they have not even responded to his request. i expect them not to respond to me but not to him. this hospital closes, who is going to tear it down and maybe build apartments or something there? but this impacts poor and wealthy people. there was a pastor i met who died and coded in that city. if he had not been within three minimums of that hospital, he would have died and left four children.
