I find it amazing how anyone can even begin to defend this Hospital System. Here are the plain and simple facts that cannot be refuted and are public record.

1. This Hospital system attempted to cover up a sexual Assault which resulted in the arrest and conviction of several employees, one was the Vice President.This can all be verified through public court records.

2. The EEOC has made settlements to many minority employees over the years for discrimination (again all public record)

3. The shooting that occurred was only because hospital security guards taunted an unstable man who was a former police officer with no insurance. The man was found incompetent to stand trial and was ordered to mental health care facility. Tell me why the judge made made this decision? Probably because the guards taunted an unstable man who was seeking help but was thrown out of the hospital! Now you call them "heroes?" Sounds like a bad case of misdiagnosis to me.

4.If the judge found the man who did the shooting to be mentally incompetent, why did the hospital staff not find the man a mental health risk? After all they treated and released him into the hands of the vicious security guards.

5. I personally know of a Security Guard who was a model employee, never missed a day of work in 2 years and even had a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. When his co-workers in the Security Dept found out he was gay it was on! They harassed the guy to death and he quit his job. Why the guy did not sue the hospital is beyond me, maybe he felt like it wasn't worth his time. I understand he is now a security consultant in Texas.

6. The EEOC fined SHC and paid a 10K settlement to a black Security Guard who was forced out of his job simply because the rednecks running the Security Dept. did "not want any N's working in their Dept.

7. A female Guard was taunted and filed suit with the EEOC as she was harassed just because she was a woman. The K-9 officer yes the female K-9 officer was better trained than any of the "boys" But when the racist old boys club are ruling your done!

8. Two nurses who were sexually harassed by their supervisors filed EEOC claims against the hospital, all were settled.

I could go on and on with examples, but I will spare you. So go right ahead, sit in your cubical and pull that wool sweater down over you eyes and pretend nothing ever happened. MANY of us know the real truth about this place! I know first hand, I was a nurse there of a different color and was forced to resign, race was the only factor!
