Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital administrator Noel Rea discusses SEARHC’s decision to drop facility fees, and to make healthcare services available to all in the community — even without a referral. The hospital now offers tele-radiology on nights and weekends, a new mammography machine, and other services intended to keep SEARHC viable into the future. Rea also says that, contrary to urban myth, there is no danger of Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital closing.
