It’s almost funny.
Who would have thought that a underserved access hospital might actually have value and be worth preserving for the community?

Good luck finding an entire hospital worth of employees right nowWho would have thought that a underserved access hospital might actually have value and be worth preserving for the community?

A lot of hospitalists?Manpower is one of the few things this country has a lot of right now. A lot of people out of work, waiting in the wings, or even just in other sites across the country that aren't being hit hard. It could have happened if they were organized. Nobody seems to be though.

I don't know about RTs, but plenty of nurses using that same idea.Yeah, and a lot of FM and IM docs with less volume clinics that could cover less acute floors. But in all honesty, docs themselves are probably the easiest to find. It would probably be harder to find nurses and RTs.

Then I stand corrected. Thanks y’allI don't know about RTs, but plenty of nurses using that same idea.
NPs that aren't seeing patients - back to floor nursing
RNs working in outpatient offices - back to floor nursing
Can’t the city somehow take it over...emergency/disaster? Eminent domain?Philadelphia Hospital to Stay Closed After Owner Requests Nearly $1 Million a Month (Published 2020)
Hahnemann University Hospital could hold 500 patients with the coronavirus. But city officials said the cost was too steep.www.nytimes.com
"City Councilor Helen Gym said on Twitter that day that Philadelphia should not let “unconscionable greed to get in the way of saving lives,” and called for acquiring the property through eminent domain. Mr. Kenny said city officials had explored that option but determined it was too time-consuming and would require them to purchase the building at market price."Can’t the city somehow take it over...emergency/disaster? Eminent domain?
Well luckily temple stepped up...From the article:
"The owner of the hospital, Joel Freedman of Broad Street Healthcare Properties, a real estate company, said he had offered to sell the facility to the city well below market price, or to lease it for $60 a bed a day, far less than what two other hospitals in California agreed to charge to lease their facilities."
"Mr. Freedman offered to sell the property below market price or lease it for $27 a bed a day. The city would have to pay an additional $33 a bed a day to cover the costs of utilities and taxes, he said. The full amount came to about $910,000 a month, Mr. Singer said."

Mr. Kenny said city officials had explored that option but determined it was too time-consuming and would require them to purchase the building at market price."
This looks less like the owner being greedy and more like he tried to rent the hospital well below market price to the city but the city didn't want to pay.
Yes. But I still think the city should've just paid the $900k/month to rent the hospital instead of borrowing Temple's indoor basketball court.Well luckily temple stepped up...
