Over the "Big Top" : KVHD Protecting another CEO

Sometimes I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a firehouse yelling "Theatre." --- Me

ACT ONE: THE CEO SEVERANCE PACKAGE

NOvember Kern ValleY Healthcare District Board Meeting

"A Question of Quorum..."

BACKGROUND: CEO Tim McGlew, three years at the helm of KVHD, member if the California Hospital Association, and he forgot to wear his protection: SEVERANCE PACKAGE.

McGlew, simply stated he wanted to ensure his needs were protected, these three years later, and a new mixture in the hospital batter box, would prove to make him more vulnerable to such things as truth or scrutiny, as there was a comfort in his former quorum on the board of directors.

Not that he is fired, but in case of Fire, he has some of his $250K salary, for at least a year, until he finds new employment.

Never an emotional speaker, McGlew, showed tears welled in his eyes, as the CEO with the three years of raises to a higher than average hospital salary, was defended by his Amigos, now Former Chairwoman of the board, Victoria Alwin, Former radio Board Blowhard, Bob Jamison, and Re-elected Doctor Gross, along with David Derr, Advocated for the security of the administrator's salary.


McGlew Shown above, asking for a full year salary, The CEO was visibly shaken as the board discussed his "package?" lol

 David Derr, returning to the melee after his election in 2010, pitched a six month package for McGlew, allowing for some room to reduce the actual costs to the hospital both in dollars, and sense or sense-ability considering the financial climate.

But even that crumb was trampled upon as the dollars have Donoughts and sugar is their candy, so was this offer passed on, and the 12 month dealing began.

Dr. Robert Gross, DO, looks on as his days of Wine and Rosey future stocks in this market of mayhem, could be altered before the year begins.

My question, and will find answers, is exactly, I"VE ASKED nicely and DIRECTLY, what are all his Financial Dealings with KVHD?

He has the SNF, the Acute, ER? Surgery, his PA, Sienna Wellness, and was directing the Rural Health Clinic at one point. Why is there DIRECT answer to this lingering question of how much has he invested?

Gross told the audience that this Healthcare is a "business" but what about this business of his board and breakfast at KVHD? Inquiring minds know there's more to this soup than just the brothel.

 Former Chairwoman, Victoria Alwin, leaves a legacy of "Time Keeping" or the three minute timer, shutting off comments, faucets flowing with facts the board and administrators had been previously able to deflect with her shelter.

She gave her last gift to the CEO, beginning the discussion of a severance package, justifying it's "timely" nature as nothing. A typical plan, nothing to get the community alarmed about. Politics? Oh no, hush, you naysayers. lol

 Cal Mtg. our friends, our bonded by debt and misfortune, keepers of the money pit called KVHD, were invoked into the matter.

Even when CFO, Chester N. Beedle, record keeper for the Debt ridden hospital, claims there are monies accounted for, books are balanced, there is DISREGARD for the real owners of KVHD: THE 24 year old bond debt serviced by Cal Mtg.

Beedle and McGlew, are beholding to the holders of this mortgaged morgue of humanity, and the name slid into the paperwork.

McGlew would get no pay if there were severance from Cal Mtg. and they could have, should have, severed a long time ago with KVHD, as there were passed along a license to steal the hope of a better day for the Kern Valley residents.

They let the reins of terror descend on this valley, by not watching, not alerting, not even stirring until the coffee has boiled over.

NO GOB. No bail out with community tax monies in the general obligation arena. The trust has gone bust.

No money from the community to pay a debt that should be to society as a whole for allowing this meltdown to continue, Chair Noble, or electric, I say.

Next week on the Mayan calendar, the Illusive KVHD monthly board meeting, Wed. Dec. 5th, at 5:30 PM in the Cafeteria at the hospital in Mt. Mesa. 

Newly elected board member, Tom Wright, and former and "renewed" memeber Barbara Casas, join the board mix upcoming as the climate change continues..............
