Thread regarding Ascension Health layoffs

Milwaukee, Wisconsin: "He Died All Alone" at Ascension Columbia St. Mary's

Current and former staff say conditions continue to deteriorate at one of the city’s largest hospitals – a follow-up to our special report a year ago.

LATE LAST YEAR, Milwaukee Magazine published an investigation into Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s hospital, long considered one of the city’s premier health institutions.

The report detailed how systemic staffing shortages had led to issues in patient safety causing dozens of doctors, nurses and surgeons to leave the hospital, fearing for their patients and careers.

Oops.

Last year, Columbia St. Mary's was cited for not having enough staff to take care of patients in the emergency department, after inspectors found that most patients whose records were reviewed spent hours in the waiting room that June and July without being seen or checked on, even some who were in severe pain or distress.

But the Empire claims to be fighting back.
