Just read the entire article. I did see the part about possibly delaying the opening of the Brownwood Hospital.
First, it was an excellent job by the POA on asking these questions and getting answers to most. As I said before this would be news. Kudos to the POA on the research.
Second, I think all the answers provided should bring some closure to those that have expressed doubt. The only real questionable aspect is the use of the word 'donated' when discussing the new wing on the Sharon Morse building. Really it was a decision by the Morse development team to go ahead with previously shelved plans to expand the building since they now have a viable tenant in mind.
Third, I'm not that concerned even if the Brownwood hospital is delayed. There is no pressing need for the hospital at this point. Yes, in 5 years there may be as we add more residents south of 466A over that time frame. But for those of us in the south, CFHA in Leesburg is only 1/2 hour away (albeit not by golf cart
).
Fourth, it is clearly evident that the RBOI is a radiation center and nothing more. This is great for those that need radiation treatment but unfortunately most cancer victims need more comprehensive care. RBOI will still have a place in the treatment plans of many and I wish them well.
Fifth, I thought a great point was made regarding the not for profit status. Many on this forum talk about the need for donations but never fully understand how important donations are for ALL not for profit hospitals to thrive.
Bottom line for me: I don't see any wrong doing and I don't feel that any donations will fall into the wrong hands.
