In the Mississippi Delta, a hospital anchors its community. Now it's in danger of closing.

1. Some thoughts on this

The article doesn't say who owns the hospital or what the CEO earns. Most CEOs earn outrageous salaries, plus there are innumerable "assistant CEOS" whose usual purpose, as far as this retired RN could ever see, is to clutter up the halls and think of ways to make everyone else's job harder. Don't get me started on them.

There is a corporation called Rennova Health that comes in, billing itself as a "savior" for these rural and small town hospitals. Its actual purpose is to suck all the money they can out of the hospital and then close it, usually for good. Meanwhile, its obscenely wealthy CEO, Seamus Lagan, hides out in the Caymans or Bahamas or someplace where he can't be extradited from, counting his money. I expect them to be the next vulture in the sky over Greenwood, MS. I've already seen them in action in Tennessee and Kansas.
