If the hospital is insulting to Valley Voice that means they are stepping on the hospital toes

Not everthing is positive about this hospital. I think all comments are welcome if they are not mean spirited or insulting.

Shedding light on a subject and encouraging everyone to share their thoughts/questions and experiences regarding TRMC by no means cause “real damage” to this hospital. The ones who have caused “real damage” is the Board of Directors whose arrogance and heavy handedness brings about distrust and anger from many Tulareans. Keep up the good reporting Valley Voice as loyal readers and citizens of Tulare rely on you.

I would like to know how our reporting causes “real damage,” as stated in this article–especially when the latter states, “Tulare Regional Medical Center has now completed 24 consecutive months of profit and had an annual return last year better than in the past twelve – all confirmed by not one, but two financial audits and an upgrade by the national firm Fitch Ratings.”

ER care is terrible . They need to fix immediately. One doctor on duty . Six hour waits. Where did the first bond money go. It is our money explain or we can replace the board. No doctor should sit on the board.No new bond until they explain.

We need to come together as a community and vote NO on the 55 million dollar bond. This board took the easy option to ask for the bond rather then finding other methods to fund the tower project. I have no faith on the current hospital adminstartion but foremost I don’t trust Benzeei.

If the negative people could put some of all the negative talk into working side by side with HCCA… INSTEAD OF FIGHTING ABOUT EVERYTHING HCCA HAS DONE FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE COMMUNITY…. JUST STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE… ALL OF US SHOULD BE THANKFUL AND APPRECIATE WHAT HCCA DID FOR OUR HOSPITAL…They came in and fixed the mess the hospital was in and Saved 500 jobs, saved all of our home values from crashing and saved “Our Hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was employed by Tulare for 22 years. Never written up, never misse work, loved my job.. Until the new administration started. With all the horrible things that they did to employees I saw fir to finally speak up. Went to the board meeting,a few, and defended the employees and how we felt. I did this on a few occasions. When HCCA took over I was handed my walking papers. No reason given, just get out. Devistated at age 59 with no job. Talk about being thrown under the bus..there we several long time employees that we laid off…
This is my thorn that I need to get over. But will probably have a very hard time to forgive.
