Anaheim General Hospital closing after years of financial, legal troubles

Anaheim General Hospital announced it is closing after years of
financial and legal troubles. The loss of Anaheim General's emergency
room and acute care comes at a time when area hospitals are gearing up
to serve more people.
Doctors and nurses found out Monday the emergency room would close the
following day, and the rest of the hospital will shut down May 23.
Nurse Shannon Ladd still came to work Wednesday, even though the ER is
technically closed.
"A lot of us stuck together and said, 'Let's finish. Let's do this
right.' What if someone from the community that doesn't know the ER
closed comes in with an emergency?" Ladd said.
Ladd says employees were told the hospital is closing because of
unavailable finances. She says a lotof her paychecks have bounced.
"We love our job," Ladd said. "We work our 12 hours, we want to get
paid for what we do."
Pacific Health Corporation, which owns Anaheim General, has had
financial trouble in the past. Just last year, it agreed to pay $16.5
million to the federal government after admitting three of its
facilities recruited homeless patients and provided them with
unnecessary healthcare services billed to Medicare and MediCal.
Ester Rodriguez, resident of nearbyStanton, just learned of the plannedshutdown.
"I brought my daughter here about three years ago, and it was not a
real clean hospital, but they waited on her right away," Rodriguez
said.
As for the employees still on duty at the hospital, they say the
closure will affect the community, and it's already affected the
staff'smorale.
