Bofinger clarifies PMC board resignation
Dear Editor:
I have had the privilege of serving on the board of directors, for Pioneers Medical Center. Pioneers is a unique part of our community in that it is one of the counties larger employers with an amazing and committed staff. The entire staff is committed to the health and care of our community! I am very proud and honored to have been a part of such an organization.
Thank you Mr J.B. Sullivan, very well said! ????????
Dear Mr. Bofinger;
Thank you for your candid letter. We as a community must look closer at what is happening at our taxpayer funded local hospital! Unbeknownst to myself, as I am sure to many other residents of our small community, much has been changing behind closed doors at Pioneers Medical Center. I have always appreciated the compassionate caring staff. That being said the problems as always start from the top down as in any organization. I have lived in Meeker for 40 years. We have operated our business here for just as long. My recent experience concerning a medically necessary procedure I was scheduled to undergo and subsequently cancelled that very morning due to what I was repeatedly told was “hospital policy” was a horrendous and despicable event. The fact that this was perpetrated upon anyone has made me realize that this facility has become nothing more then a “money machine”! Somehow in their wonderful growth spurt garnering outside dollars they have forgotten who they also serve: the local populace of our small community! If you also happen to fall into to the “self pay”/ no health insurance – self employed category such as myself, well, be prepared to deal with a money beast who can and will put your health and life at risk!
