Alderdan thanks for your comments...and thanks too, to all of the comments from everyone...but we are missing one very valid argument here.
Let us see just how many people do remember just how bad the hospital was before the "Take-over" by GMRC was official. This hospital was so bad...that I was forced to take my wife (before she passed away in September)to Christian North-East for medial treatment...since this time, the hospital in question has increased it's production many fold.
The Security is one issue I will bring up here on our site...one cannot get past the security at any door (that I am aware of)without signing-in now...and this is a big plus of us. The hospital itself has increased production to the point that it is now...my...choice...of...medical...care, in our area and I no longer need to follow any ambulance to Christian North-East for this medical service any hospital does preform.
In conclusion to this post I set to print, we are not out of the woods yet...there is still much to be done if we are to have a "Top Notched Hospital" in Granite City, Illinois...but we are much better than we were at one time...believe me.
Thanks for reading...and to listing and remember (as I)...when I would argue the ambulance drivers to take Nettie to Christian North-East emergency room for any treatment.
