A Town Hall meeting has been organized for Dec. 11 to address topics related to Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital, its financial status, its staff, and the current administration.
In a media advisory, Dr. Connie Liu of the Community Health Action Group, said the current leadership of RMCH has entrenched itself in an adversarial stance with staff and community.
She also mentioned a $9.4 million deficit and a persistent one-star CMS Hospital Rating as major concerns for a community that relies on the hospital as a major service point for patients who live in the nearby Navajo Nation and Zuni Pueblo. She added that 70 percent of the patient population at RMCH is Native American and it is the only hospital where people who don't receive care from the Indian Health Service can get health services.
Guest speaker Tim Putnam, former president of the National Rural Health Association and a former CEO with 20 years' experience running rural hospitals and mentoring other rural CEOs will speak. He is currently serving on the White House COVID-19 Task Force on Equity.
The Town Hall will be held Dec. 11 from 1 pm-3 pm MT at the First United Methodist Church, 1800 Red Rock Dr.
