The Greatest Society
I'd like opinions on this before I post mine. Here are some facts:
-Homeless man dumped out of a van on Skid Row in LA
-Van was from Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital
-Man is a parapalegic
-Man had no wheel chair or walker
-Man dragged himself, his meager belongings, and his broken colostomy bag down the street until helped out by onlookers
-This is not the first time this hospital has been accused of patient dumping
I do not know if the "Presbyterian" phrase in the title implies any religious affilation or backing. The facility's website failed to mention it...however, here's the hospitals vision statement:
CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center is a primary care community hospital serving the health care needs of all members of the population within its service area. HPMC strives to distinguish itself as a community healthcare provider, recognized for providing quality, innovative care in a compassionate manner.
