    Wellmont Buys Two S.W. Virginia Hospitals

    Wellmont has just bought Mountain View Regional Medical Center(formerly St. Mary's) and Lee Regional Medical Center in Pennington. Thoughts and views anyone?

    Well, that's the first I've heard of it.
    But if so, I'd have to say that Wellmont has a good track record of turning around struggling facilities. And St. Mary's/Bon Secours/Mountain View has been struggling.

    Well hopefully that helps, because last time I was at the former St. Mary's, it was horrible.
    What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

    Yep, the former St. Mary's went downhill fast when the nuns sold it.

    Wellmont has also sold their Home Health offices to Advance Home Health. The takeover will happen on July 1. Several changes already.

    Perhaps I'm a bit biased [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] but this could be a good thing for them. St. Marys needed work and modernization when it was still non-profit, and when it changed hands the first time it didn't do well. And the second time it changed hands some improvements were made, but also some changes that maybe weren't for the better.

    Gotcha. I was trying to look it up on the respective facilities websites. No luck there!

    Actually didn't the topic go south when you replied

    'We all know nothing can be true untill you have heard of it'

    Kind of a smart comment, which in turn, generated one back, and so on and so forth.
