  1. I guess you just hose the people of Bedford? Having a hospital isn’t always about making money.

    I guess that’s why they are part of the “Health Care Industry” and not the health care system.

    1. IU Health has a hospital in Bedford too. But, yeah, it’s a for-profit industry, not for-customers.

  2. Had their lunch eaten by IU Health – although to clarify IU is also a so-called non-for-profit healthcare system. Remember next time there’s an Ascension mention of serving the ‘poor and vulnerable’….except in Lawrence County, Indiana…

    Perhaps time for Indiana legislators to consider the non-for-profit status of an “Indiana-based health system’ whose profits filter their way to St. Louis headquarters to subsidize the rest of Ascension….

  3. Not for Profit. Hahaha. That’s funny. Avoid taxes. Avoid property taxes. Forcing vaccinations or firing onto those so-called heroes just one year prior. Paying travel and/or agency nurses 3x more than their own long term nurses with years of seniority. Ascension needs to take a long hard serious look at their vision and their mission…you are missing your “Spirit of Caring” mark, and badly!

  4. It would’ve been nice for the writer to do just **a little** more than rewrite the news release. Not one mention of the other hospital in Bedford.

    1. “Ascension St. Vincent Dunn is one of two Critical Access Hospitals in Lawrence County, just miles apart from one another. In fact, Lawrence County is one of the only counties in the country to have two critical access hospitals”
