More and more it appears that the necessary steps are being taken to get the Holbrook Hospital open again, and that is indeed good news for the entire area. Certainly we need to have the hospital back in business. It is important in a large variety of ways in the area. One thing that would help right now is for anyone who may owe the hospital any money to try to make some arrangements to get it paid. No business can operate on accounts receivables.
Business needs dollars to stay in business.
In many cases the charges may be covered by a medical insurance policy, and, if so, we need to be sure that the proper forms are filled out so the bill can be collected. Then when the hospital opens again, we need to give it our full support. We need to forget any criticisms we may have had in the past and look forward to the future. The new operators are not responsible for any difficulties in the past, and they should not be burdened with them. Running any small hospital is a tough job at best these days.
