Mendocino Coast Health Care District – Sick. but Returning to Health

And this is what I call being cited by the government, big time…

The document is ponderous, but the “findings” and the “recommendations” are revealing…

I like the continuing threat of “closing the facility” (which will never happen), but I also like the point where they state that “Board Members are elected but need no experience in this field”…

Not having hospitals run by Healthcare Professionals is a major mistake, but the main point of interest here is that Board Members are Fiduciaries, and are legally required to act in the interests of the taxpayers and citizens…

These feckless Boards are not the only cause of the complaints which caused this investigation, but in my world, incompetence sometimes gets noticed to the point that the dominos start to fall over…

So many District Hospitals are unsuccessful, and many of them are facing the 2030 deadline…

Locals seldom have the abilities and experience to operate a business at all, much less a healthcare business, which is buried under legislation and regulation…

Being on a Board is an unpaid nightmare, that I myself, who has run a healthcare business, would not be the volunteer, for any reason…

This report is quite a slap on the wrist, but the Corrective Action will likely fall short, and another District Hospital Failure is likely, joining Tulare and Colusa…
