Hospitals change things always to increase profits. Originally, it was more profitable to have practices as FQHC so they were separate entities. Then it became more profitable to have practices as departments of the hospital...thus the change. Profit is always the motivator.
As for salaries, the President of CMMC-Mr. Chalke earned $737,000 in salary, bonus and benefits in 2009. The hospital president-Mr Covey earned $444,133. (Numbers taken from Form 990s on Guidestar.com- this is public information)
St. Mary's President- Mr. Cassidy earned $541,000 in those categories and Mr. Myles (hospital president) earned $503,000. They also have a COO who earned $226,000.
I will leave it to the reader to decide if these are competitive.

This is an opportunity
What an opportunity for collaboration with other organizations.
CLT could use the Lewiston Junior High School auditorium...an amazing facility that's far more comfortable than their current location.
What about a collaboration with the Franco Center or the Public Theater? This is truly an opportunity to move foward, collaborate and build the arts.
Stop whining CLT. See the possibilities that are at hand. Almost $32,000 to heat that building is absurd!
Nice
Congrats to this project. Dr. Dixon is a great man./
I can't believe this is sold out
150 people are going to this event! I'm sure they will regret it.
Profit...Profit
