Hospital merger will strengthen facility
Monmouth Daily Review Atlas, IL -
On the surface, most people will not notice any changes in the day to day operation of the Hospital, said Brown. The merger however will strengthen CMC in two important areas. Brown noted that health care in the United States is becoming extremely complex and is more regulated than ever. The Center has made numerous investments of millions of dollars for new technology over the last ten years. The need for continued improvements will increase. Brown said that while the hospital currently is financially strong, the merger will maintain and enhance its financial position. "We will pick up the financial strength of OSF which is a $3 billion dollar organization," said Brown. Additionally, it will help to add specialists to the hospitals staff and increase the options of treatments available. "It is difficult to get specialists due to the size of our facility...this will allow us to do joint recruitment of specialists with other facilities such as St. Mary and St. Francis," Brown commented. OSF recruits many physicians each year and has access to many University of Illinois College of Medicine-Peoria resident physicians including specialty areas such as cardiology.

If You Want Fair And Affordable Health Insurance For The Uninsured
Medical News Today (press release), UK -
"When the public participates in designing basic benefit plans for the uninsured, they make well-reasoned tradeoffs," says co-author Susan Dorr Goold, M.D., MHSA, MA, an associate professor of internal medicine and health management and policy, director of the Bioethics Program at the U-M Medical School and co-inventor of CHAT. "This kind of participation may be key to developing plans that prospective participants will choose and will accept, especially when coverage is mandated as in Massachusetts' recently enacted health reform. A publicly-designed plan that limits coverage may be more acceptable to them than one designed from the top down."
