Hill Health CEO Resigns

I smell Mackereal.

NOT a good sign for Hill Health, which is already in seriously dire financial straits.....

If recent corporate history shows us anything, watch for Cornell Scott Hill Health to declare bankruptcy, or be purchased at a fire-sale price before the end of 2012.

Perhaps Yale New Haven Hospital will purchase the ailing corporation?

This does not bode well for the poor living in New Haven, especially with the so-called Affordable Care Act to be ushered in in coming months...

These stories talk about financial problems, but they never say what they are. What's the core problem? Expenses too high? Revenue too low? Both? This is an important entity and its services are critical. So what gives? Is there any real expectation that the new CEO and the board know how to fix the chronic problems?

Finally the board has taken action, after 3 years of a downward spiral. What a shame and reflection on them that it took so long. I give great credit to the staff of the organization who endured for so long and still show up for work each day to do a good job. I also credit the staff who went public with their concerns by sharing with the New Haven Independent news the administration did not want known. Let's hope the Board actually does a search for leadership, and does not expediently take the easy way out by settling for the next in command.

Cornell would not be happy.
They brought in a woman all the way from California with no idea of New Haven history or culture, and she in turn brings in her people to replace local people.
She never should have been hired in the first place.
The Hill Health Center is a uniquely New Haven icon, you can't just put anybody from anywhere at the helm.

Completed agreed with you, make me wander where is the community input when this changes are happening , especially in places that are use for low income people. WE all have a lot to say about services, needs and specially we know WHO is working or make it work.

Truthfully, I believe that in New Haven have a lot of qualify professionals with skills to be in charge in this kind of places. But unfortunately they don't are considered and take their talents to other states and as a consequences we have one less home owner who's whaling stables them selves a long terms and invest in NH.

Would someone please find out who are the people that sit on these boards,that allow these financial problems to take place.Why did Miss Henderson resign and what were her salary. These places are there to help the less fortune but it seen that they always come up short with so call mis-management of funds while the board or the staff get there pay.. Just wondering for a better follow up on this story.
