They decry management's unwillingness to listen
Below is a letter received today from five local legislators
who had the courage to stand up to the entrenched leadership of South County
Hospital and its Board of Trustees. Despite these legislators’ good-faith
efforts to mediate and drive much-needed change, they were met with resistance
and outright dismissal by hospital leadership and trustees.
These lawmakers are now issuing a stark warning. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering support for Save South County Hospital, former Board of Trustees chairs leading change efforts, donors, patients, medical staff, hospital employees, physicians - and every South County resident who deserves better than the hospital leadership and trustees are willing to give.
These lawmakers’ voices, like all of ours collectively, will
not be silenced in the face of obstinate and unaccountable leadership. A
special thanks to State Rep. Carol McEntee for briefing her colleagues listed
below on our current efforts to hold our South County Hospital Healthcare
System Endowment Special Member meeting on April 3. It is open to Members and
the public, who are encouraged to attend, at 6 p.m. in South Kingstown High
School’s auditorium.
