Katina Rejected Again
I received another "Katina rejection" yesterday.
Medical centers are just not anxious to operate OSF-SFMC's patients from Haiti.
OSF-SFMC in Peoria needs to do the right thing. They need to accept Katina and give her state-of-the-art medical care.
But when OSF's heart is constructing a $400 million expansion of their medical center in Peoria, Katina's heart just doesn't count.
Many other children's hospitals around the country are aware of OSF's unethical and negligent behavior abandoning these kids.
How many more Haitian Hearts patients are going to suffer and die while the OSF Sisters and the Catholic Diocese of Peoria remain silent?
