Melissa Bonner, Grand Forks, letter: Health reform needs a good-faith effort

Dr. Noah Chelliah, Grand Forks, column: Bottom line is that Altru squelched competition
Altru administrators insult our intelligence by claiming that all of a sudden, they realized they needed the exact same space that Doctors Hospital had been preparing to use as a competing hospital, then they decided to buy the space a day or two before it was to open.

From now to 2022, Altru expects to move into the old Doctors Hospital on South Washington Street and build a new hospital and clinic. A rebuild also allows Altru to modernize the patient experience in a consumer-oriented way that’s reminiscent of what Doctors Hospital had promised, with, among other things, private rooms in a home-like atmosphere.

Bret Weber, Grand Forks, letter: Market alone can’t solve health care woes

Dr. William McKinnon, Grand Forks, column: Altru strives to be employer, provider of choice
Altru Health System welcomes competition; in fact, we are surrounded by it. 'Greediness,' 'uncaring,' 'disinterest' and 'monopolize' are not part of our vocabulary, and we do not mistreat or intimidate our employees. To the contrary, we constantly strive to improve on the care delivered by our system and to be an employer of choice.

Jane Amundon, Sharon, N.D., letter: Altru did the right thing for Grand Forks
It took only one line to assure me that Altru executives made the right decision for their business, their 3,000-plus employees and their community. No business or company in today’s climate can afford to lose $6 million to $9 million by losing the Medicare “single provider” status. They had to protect that status. The community depends on Altru remaining stable and viable.
