Cherokees will take it over.

You don't think OU is going to try to sweep in and make themselves the hero here?

no.
they've shot their wad with all the schusterman expansions... they'd be going to the same dry well (state coffers) that osu has been hitting up...

Here comes OU:

dont count your chickens... it says "at or near that building"- whatever that means... hillcrest is ardent and they want to be through with trmc... st johns (except for the nuns) has no interest in indigent care... none of those hospitals will be ponying-up to help boren buy trmc...

let's see if  boren can pull a rabbit out of his dapper easter bonnet... ardent has been itching to dump trmc since the day they moved to town... the "at or near" is only in question if boren can come up with the funds, which the state has shown ZERO interest in doing via osu... it would be a pretty ****ty deal if ou were able to get the state to swing what osu could not...

OU and Boren have a huge stroke with the legislature and SBOR.  I think they can make things happen that OSU can't.

Well, we (TRMC employees) were told Tuesday that Ardent has no plans to close the hospital. They said they were to talk with OU Wednesday and let us know what they found out. There are over 100 residency slots owned by the hospital. Noone can take those residency slots away. They are frozen. OU wants to expand their program and it is a natural fit.
The press release at least lets us know that they were not lying to us.

People need to understand that the employees at this hospital love [:I]working there. There is a REAL need for our hospital in this city. If noone helps with this indigent care situation in Tulsa, they will be forced to face it if they let this hospital close. The indigents will just go to the other hospitals. GOD FORBID!! They won't be able to refuse them care, they won't be able to send them to the GHETTO hospital TRMC. There won't be that option.

We just wonder if it is a coincidence that Kathy Taylor has not said ONE word about the situation. She wants to build a homeless shelter in White City, and she abviously doesn't care about the hospital closing. It may just be a ploy to relocate the homeless population away from her precious BOK Center!!  Coincidence?  We don't think so,since TRMC parking lot is marked as designated available parking for BOK events. She would be very happy to bulldoze the whole place and build herself a parking garage for her precious project.

Very true, they are able to get a $40 million appropriate from the state for their own public hospital (money well spent).  They might just be able to make things NOT happen for OSU. Hmmmm.....they sure showed up at the table quick when OSU moved the residency.

I wish we could take OSU Tulsa and hand it over to OU. OU will make things happen and grow that college. OSU just feels threatened that they will lose students at their Stillwater campus so fight against, or ignore and blow off ANY expansion here in Tulsa. They would probably be tickled to see OSU Tulsa and or the OSU medical center die on the vine.

This thread has been up almost six days and no one has bashed osteopathic physicians as not being "real" doctors. Someone needs to tell St. Francis quickly.
