Oh Jen, how I miss our days in Bio. Now you mention the word, irresponsible, in your response to journalist publishing some unfound facts which he a knowledge but goes to show the lack of trust the staff have in the incompetence of your executives and board. Now can you please clear up some irresponsible behaviors of your current employer, such as a sexual predator being able to escape from the mental health instituion? A scribe who went "unseen" and took his own life with medication after a patient had experied? How about the rwo healthcare providers that diverted narcotics? Since you drank the Kool-aid St kaweah I'm sure you'll give me some form of talking points regarding this mismanagement. Shame CMS didn't terminate its agreement! Oh and one last thing, can you explain why a whole medical group is leaving to join Adventist? In reply to Jennifer Foster.

Why would they print information that they consider "something that seems unlikely." Seems irresponsible to me.

Actually KH's "Back in Black" campaign name refers to the financial accounting practice of recording profits in black in and losses in red. RIP Bon Scott tho!

Why should the public accept Florez-McClusker blatantly lying, saying in one breath that major facilities have been closed (and failing to mention turmoil in the Doctors group) and then say in the next breath that quality of service and quality of life for patients has not been affected? Does she think no one will notice? Is she angling for a job working for Tulare District where this kind of prevarication is routine?
