Unnecessary beds?

April 11, 2008 By WRN Contributor

Dean-St. Mary's has announced a new $140 million heath care facility for Janesville, and the CEO of that city's hospital is not pleased. Mercy Health System CEO Javon Bea says Dean Healthcare already takes patients from Mercy hospital, and the Dean-St. Mary's Hospital campus would put too much of a strain on Janesville-area hospitals. He says if Dean brings the unnecessary beds to Janesville, they will pull about a third of the inpatients from Mercy hospital, and the jobs will go with it. He says Dean's claims they will create 350 new jobs are misleading, because Dean will transfer jobs from other employers like Mercy and Beloit.
