i totally agree that the public needs to know the real issues. Mudslinging, however only diverts attention to other areas (ie breaking off instruments in someone's heart) Please....you've got great and horrible in every field, in every facility, in everything. If a physician is negligent, they need to be delt with, yes but we are talking about the financial condition of NRMC. The public has always deserved to understand better our hospital. Maybe more people should be asking the question, how the ones that are our set of "checks and balances" have let this go on...and on.....and on..... The employees hands are tied. The employees have been frustrated knowing for years that Quorum should have long been out of there....so, if the employees knew it, doesn't it make you wonder why NO ONE ELSE KNEW IT?!?! HHMMMMM!

I agree with ilovenatchez2...the comment section needs to be closed before the community loses all focus of the real issue.

It's easy to read through these blogs and tell the employees that have been living with and seeing the mismanagement for years from the "outsiders" that have opinions with not enough real information. Jefferson Davis Memorial Hospital (NRMC) was run at one time by a man that cared about doing things the right way. It was his town and his hospital and he was not governed by a management company. Our Quorum CEO's are all temporary Natchez citizens. Quorum has no history or personal interest in the success of Natchez Regional period. They are in business to make money....for themselves, not Natchez Regional. The community has to understand that NRMC and the management company Quorum are two different things. Natchez Regional is the hospital that has delivered your babies and taken care of your children, recieved your loved ones in the emergency department and you have been glad they were there during these emergencies. Your neighbors and family members are employees of this hospital. . It is unimaginable to me to understand how people say "will they close" Explain how a 2 floor hospital can service our community alone? The "powers that be" over NRMC must watch closely! Would you still have a job 10-15 years later with the same company if you had only had one productive year? I think not! As far as paying or non paying patients...do you people know that these supplies and services used for these patients have to be paid for, and most want to know at discharge, what else do I get. Do you understand that you paying people have to pay for your services and they are not!!! This is robbing your hospital. I see a comment about the management at Community...do you know this is a for profit hospital....there are people that own this hospital...it is THEIR business....they make money....it goes in THEIR pockets....of course they manage it well....IT'S THEIR MONEY!!!!! The community needs to have faith in Natchez Regional. We can become the wonderful hospital that we used to be. We need just need someone that is dedicated to running a hospital that can and will provide safe, quality care to our community. Everyone needs to have some FAITH!

This editorial is ridiculous! In the first place, anyone interested in what is happening at NRMC will do their homework and look at who is running the hospital, Quorum, and next who controls Quorum, the Board. If you will check out the info on the web, you will find numerous suits against Quorum for Medicaid fraud and "numbers on paper" not matching up. Just read a little....they paid the government $77.5 million dollars for Medicaid fraud in just one claim. There are others...and I everytime I have ever applied for a job, I am asked for references. Did no one check out these people!? The employees have known for YEARS what the problem is. Quorum! When these people make the salaries that they do, do you think THEY take a pay cut? How much of a difference do you think this makes in their lives! We have good hospital workers that now, thanks to the PAYCUT, are barely making minimum wages. A huge management company that has bankrupted so many hospitals walks away from yet another wrecked hospital, and all you can think of is the retirement plan has caused the problem.......?! Wake up!
