It’s all about the money they have share holders and only answer to them it’s never about quality safe patient care. Ever since the early 90s the MNA has struggled to deal with these dummies of the company that runs Saint Vincent’s sad very sad especially all the old ladies who think it’s the “catholic hospital”

Good job for the Worcester Catholic in name only hospital that is super for profit….

St. V's was bought by Vanguard and now is owned by Tenet, a for-profit company.
This puts it in a position of serving two masters.
Whether St. Vincent's qualifies as a Catholic hospital or not now seems to be in the eye of the beholder.

>Saint Vincent Hospital is a 381-bed hospital located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded by the Catholic Sisters of Providence of Holyoke in 1893, Saint Vincent's was named after the patron saint of the Sisters' order, Saint Vincent de Paul. In 1990, the hospital merged with the Fallon Healthcare System. Vanguard Health Systems purchased the hospital in 2005.

But the original mission was for the ministry to serve the sick without all those nonsense $$$ politics. It is true that Saint Vincent’s does not perform abortions and won’t prescribe BCP on the campus from what I heard. There is actually a clause that the Catholic Church could buy back the hospital but it would be impossible $ wise. The whole point of going to the hospital and being treated like your family is long long gone due to short staffing and very heavy regulations. Up to including excessive duplicative charting.

I'm guessing they're coming out way ahead with only having to pay 1.7mill.

They should forfeit all the money they over charged with a penalty added on. I doubt the 1.7 cover that. Greedy hospitals

So -p e o p l e- get overcharged but then the money gets paid back to the feds? Situation normal

They probably made a profit 10 times more than that petty fine.

Remember when, during the longest nursing strike in history, St. V’s spent countless dollars on a media blitz including print, radio, and billboard advertisements touting how great they are?
