I am disgusted that St. Mary’s is proceeding with legal action against three doctors. The L-A area needs to retain these fine physcians, not force them out of the community. In my opinion, suing them drives away talented doctors, and sets an example to others considering the area that once their contracts are up, they are welcome to leave.

I thought L-A wanted to grow and retain professionals. I want to continue the excellent care I’ve received from these doctors, not drive to Portland because we lack caring, professional doctors. I am extremely grateful that these doctors chose to remain in the area and I won’t have to try to find a new doctor for my family.

St. Mary’s should set aside the legal mumbo-jumbo and do the right thing – drop its case.
