And you want to close the birthing unit and have them if needed deliver at home or drive to Middletown. What happens when there is an winter storm and 84 is shut down, or worse, a family tries to get to Middletown and gets into an accident killing baby, mom or both. Who is the super smart exec that thinks this a good idea.

]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:50:16 UTC 11759835 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/11759808?utm_medium=rss There are too many families in the Port Jervis area that can not afford to travel for dr visits. This in turn will just increase their visits to the ER.
Dr Martakis is our pediatrician and we LOVE him! There is not a time that his office is not busy! Financially he has to be contributing greatly to Bon Secours!!!
How do you do away with two VERY important services in our community???

The Maternity Unit is an essential part of this community. There are many reasons to NOT close this unit. One, if not the most important reasons is that the nearest hospital is NO LESS than 30 minutes away. Many women in this area that rely on local services simply don't have the resources or ability to travel. It would be a mistake to close the doors to our Maternity Unit. A mistake that will cause undue hardship to our community as a whole.

This hospital system used to be family and community oriented, now the management in charge only thinks of dollar and cents, not the good of the public. Go back to your big time hospitals and give back some of your high paying "golden umbrella packages" and think of the everyday hard working families for a change.
