Deserve better than CHS

Thu., Dec. 15, 2016

Thank goodness another company that is reputable will try to make Deaconess the hospital that it was always known to be, with excellent health care and employees that always took such great pride in providing the best of patient care.

The for-profit Community Health Systems only made it more difficult to provide that care, in interest only of their profits.

The community deserves better than selfishness and greed.
