From the national and very negative attention the hospital's inspection received and the untimely termination of several CMS staffers, and the state's suspension and subsequent renewal of the hospital's license, [Yvonne B.

"We must continue basic operations to sustain the license that we do have to avoid possible future and very costly seismic evaluations for a new license and if the new group passes a new inspection, we will be able to restore the hospital's operations."Waters, who has been a vanguard in many respects in the community but especially in the fight to save the hospital, convened the town hall meeting, along with Richardson, for a day of reconciliation and renewal and to update the community on the steps that are being taken to re-open the portions of the hospital that have been closed as a result of the recent failed inspection and to urge the community to stay alert and look to the future as efforts continue to completely re-open it.See the full content of this document
