I have no problem with the hospital reopening. I have a problem with the SUBSTANDARD care by doctors and nurses. I also think that the hospital should be a community hospital and not just a geriatric facility. This community has grown so much, and yet we have NO OB/GYN care or maternity in this facility. We also do NOT have a pediatric ward. If this hospital is in this community, it should serve the ENTIRE community. A pediatric patient has to go to another facility to be PROPERLY treated for his/her injury. This should NOT be. We should also demand that other doctors from other areas be invited in and be allowed to treat their patients as they need it. Many doctors outside of LONG BEACH have chosen to stay away from LBH because of the reputation. We need to change this and not be afraid to go to a local facility for fear of mis-diagnosis, lack of patient personal care, or total alienation by others because of personal information being discussed by staff members in the open areas. There is a law in place for this and other things. We as a community need a real hospital. I am hoping upon the re-opening, that the care and practices at this facility has also had an overhaul, and that the professionalism that should be shown by hospital personnel is indeed, there. It would be nice to have the reputation of this facility upgraded and new blood running through it.
