Community Forum to Discuss Serious Issues About Enloe Medical Center and the Community's Right to Quality Health Care

Enloe's request for special entitlements to expand the medical facility
raises serious concerns and, in fact, serves to mask more serious issues at
Enloe including the recruitment and retention of caregiver staff.
The panelists, sponsoring community organizations, and caregivers are
asking Enloe to do as other hospitals have done throughout the state -- to
build a true partnership that will address the needs of our community and put
patient care before profits. Its customers include health plans, corporations and
government agencies.
