Why not upgrade kimball/MMC South hospital rather than create a new hospital?? Isn't that more economical? Also why start up with the old?? Don't think you're gonna get better service or care this is NJ. We don't have the staff/workers you get in NY. Face it the seniors should not be moving here if they need serious health care.
ReplyDeleteIsn't chemed BMG affiliated organization? Doesn't Aaron kotler sit on the board of monmouth medical center? Would not be simpler to revamp Kimball hospital instead of building a new hospital from scratch? Think about all the grants and protectzia needed which could go for better causes... For example widening route 9....... Follow the dollars?? Have a creeping suspicion it's not about the little guy......
ReplyDelete10% to the big guy
DeleteChemed offered to buy Kimball but were rebuffed. This is their response. Is it real or a negotiation tactic? Time will tell. We have seen during covid how important it is to have a jewish hospital. The "aiva" was astonishing.
ReplyDeleteOf course there are those that will argue that they'd rather be treated by a goy than a litvak. After all, Hatzola wasn't responding to shuls that were having minyanim. Was the "aiva" real, or manufactured by those with an agenda?
Aiva and sinas chinam.
DeleteBrotherly
Caring for even only one , etc.etc.
Of courseits not about the little guy. This is a business not a chessed organization. Look how many offices chemed has opened in a relatively short span of time. Oh I forgot cause they care about your health. Yes chemed is linked to BMG and Aaron Kotler
ReplyDeleteThough the original asksnim, doctors, missions, agreements are long gone.
DeleteAssuming this hospital will not have the resources to handle complex situations that end up needing multi specialty care for the baby or mother. That will make it a community hospital akin to Brick, or what Kimball used to have. It will not be an alternative to traveling to Monmouth or Jersey Shore.
ReplyDeleteWill it have a basic birthing center - like facilty?
DeleteBasic birthing even is dependent on retaining OB/GYNs to refer patients there. Most patients go where their doctor is, especially OB/GYNs which is a very personal thing for women.
DeleteAvi schnall submitted a bill to bill patients more at chemed
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the bill number?
DeleteBill A4863
DeleteSchnall bill that Jersey care should pay more for CHEMED
Session 2024 - 2025
Requires NJ FamilyCare payment for multiple medical encounters per day for enrollee at federally qualified health center.
This bill requires NJ FamilyCare to reimburse for multiple medical
encounters with federally qualified health center (FQHC) specialists
per day for an enrollee, provided:1. the referring provider documents the reason for each specialist referral; 2. each encounter is with different specialist; and3. NJ FamilyCare reimbursement for multiple encounters per dayat a FQHC does not violate federal statute.
Instead of free tuition that was promised, schnall is working to get Chemed more money paid for by our tax dollars that sponsor Jersey care..
DeleteYes this may explain is why they pushed for him
Avi Schnall spoke at the Chemed medical ethics conference..
DeleteIf a doctor sees a patient for one thing, this proposal will let him get paid for something new. That's not right, but doctors don't want to touch a patient for another item
Delete-Nine low-income New Jersey school districts bucked national trends and are now performing above pre-pandemic achievement levels in reading, math, or both.-
ReplyDeleteWhat type of nonsense is this about the public school education trends performing above pandemic level?? They dont learn much there so I guess nay improvement whatever that means is headline news... So much taxpayer money is spent there. Time to close it all down and send the students out out neighboring districts. We would save loads of taxpayer money instead of it all going into the blackhole.
These public schools have better results than our yeshivot which refuse to test their students.
DeleteOnce upon.. Jews rated better than any other ethnicity.
DeleteNowadays we're proud to have such pathetic disgraceful bottom levels
Results from what tests?!??!
DeleteCohen - who says we were proud of jews scoring higher than other ethnicities? We are proud of our avodas Hashem, not our math scores.
Delete8:50 -- that's the problem, they won't use standardized tests, cause those get reported to the NJDOE.
Delete4:29, Ludicrous.
DeleteDevarim 4:6 check up comm.
Furthermore, go dig up sources from that era.The Jews were immensely proud of how they fared in the ethnic comparative scales.Rabbis, everybody,etc.
Finally as leading RY used to stated a while ago: Everything we need do,it is expected for us that we do it well!
When rebbitzen richel brought dr feinberg a world class ovgyn to lkwd Kimball refused to work with him he left in frustration
ReplyDeleteDr Feinberg was from the few Lakewood doctors to do the delivery in Kimball so that can not be true
DeleteWill there be a NICU and PICU at this new hospital
ReplyDeleteIf u want to be a doctor in Limbal, you have to be from India, Mexico, or China
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be a doctor anywhere. DEI.
DeleteDEI?
ReplyDeleteThis hospital thing dosent pass the smell test
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they try to build up Kimball all those years and instead leased out all the floors?
What's the financial backing behind this
Will all organizations and hatzolah be forced to send there like was done by covid
Will there be a university or hospital network connected to it?
How much money did lakewood taxpayers already pay for this property that under the LIC
Good that you notice how corrupt this town is!! Did you know that CHEMED South on Rt 9 got their land for FREE!!! Which other business in town gets their land for free?? Only businesses that are run by people related to the Township committee of Lakewood ... I have to wonder who's in charge at CHEMED? It must be someone that are relatives or close friends to the Lakewood Township who is in charge of the land.
DeleteWhat an ethical conference it was that Schnall spoke at!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about , the Vishnitz, Lakewood, Yerushalayim, monsey, Williamsburg, Borough Park Rebbe
ReplyDeleteNJ had a ethically challenged governor (McGreevey) who ended up a professor of ethics at a corrupt NJ college.

DeleteI am very impressed with the professionalism of this Beis Din.
DeleteThey are withstanding enormous pressures and underhanded tactics, but stick to the Halacha as they see it.
I am not in the business world, and am unlikely to require the servces of a Beis Din, but they have proved to the world that they will stick to their guns and do the principled thing. Kol Hakavod!
Boro park rabbanim are right to cancel we should not antagonize akum
