Thank you Lisa for this important reminder. These 5 have done , perhaps , irreparable damage to the community. In addition to the hospital, the careers of many of the community physicians whose practice depends on a functioning hospital, have been severely damaged. Is it not reasonable to boycott the businesses of these 5, especially Kumar and Torres, as we would boycott anyone who hurts our community? Have they not, by their own actions, forfeited there “citizenship” in our community?

Dave the tail HAS been wagging the dog ever since HCCA took over.

To refresh everyone’s memory, those 5 citizens who signed the contract are, Parmod Kumar MD, Sherrie Bell, Richard Torrez, Laura Gadke, and Rosalinda Avitia. AKA the Benzeevi Five.

Chris, Also prior to Senovia’s election the majority of board members (Kumar, Wilbourn, Torrez) were all puppets controlled by Benzeevi. I’m sure they accepted any Agenda Benny presented them with. (Not to mention how they fell in line to approve all of his requests. Did they ever say “No” to anything he asked for? smh)

Chris I know you know these things, I just mention them to inform anyone who hasn’t been following this closely until recently.

The current board always provides their agenda to HCCA before the publication deadline and HCCA always chooses to ignore it…they create the dueling agenda scenario.

To understand you have to read the contract the former board signed with HCCA. You will understand why those that have read it call it “the worst hospital management contract in the history of public hospitals”. The fact that 5 citizens of our community voluntarily gave all control and power of our hospital district to a company that did not exist prior to signing the contract, had no experience in hospital management, and pay them 10 times the market rate is beyond comprehension and. The contract supersedes any conflict between the contract and the bylaws. That’s the amazing thing about the citizens that stepped forward after reading the contract to liberate our hospital. They looked at an almost impossible situation and got the word out and change is happening and soon accountability and transparency will return to OUR hospital district.

Just who, exactly, at HCCA makes up and distributes the agenda, and why are they taking it upon themselves to do so? By what and whoes authority?
