But is it a difference with Jane or T (Dr. Tijerina)? Essent has already sued him as a partner in the original imaging center. (Which is laughable, since he only went in as a favor.) And, he's long since lost his head of med staff to Bercher (maybe it's in the name--Dick.)
T has become disillusioned, as have many of us, with Essent's behavior over the last few years, and is not the staunch supporter that he was with St. Joseph's. I guess the reflection possibly fell Ms Jane.
Or, are the Rural Health Clinics in danger of being closed? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that they are marginally profitable at best...Health Solutions closed two, and they were far from that level. Maybe that's why three of the NPs have moonlighted--keeping their options open.
But that would diminish the hospital's patient base that has already gotten thinner. As it is, Cooper Clinic's patients are looking longingly at Greenville's Presby, and Bogata's at Clarksville. Without those referrals, things might slip even more. What a pity....
