Village Support for Valley Continues to Drop
I’m not going to disparage Valley service as their paid and volunteer workforce deserve better. Having said that, I am extremely disappointed in the actions of the hospital over the past several years and also disappointed with some trustees and foundation members who live in Ridgewood but apparently haven’t protested the shameful suit by the hospital. In my mind, their silence means tacit approval of these dealings which I find quite offensive to our residents.
A renewal of the hospital site should been simply that and the wishes, laws and decisions of this community should have respected. I will not boycott my doctors who are caught in the middle but I will no longer support the hospital nor will I hold some villagers in the same regard.
Where does the Blog get its statistical facts on this story.
Valley’s Doctors and patients still support the hospital .
Dom, again with the questions.
Albert, Paul and Gwen are going to lose all support unless they stand up and tell Valley to go F$%# itself.
It seems to me who believes Valley is garbage for suing the Village and not contenting itself with the super careful, thoughtful decision of the planning board, that a specific doctor who happens to be associated with the hospital has nothing to do with the board of directors who opted to sue the Village.
If possible, anything but ER visit, I would not be a patient in Valley Hospital, but if it’s a matter of a cholesterol check etc. with a doctor I had been seeing for years, I would not stop seeing that doctor.
Valley should continue to lose support, their actions are despicable. They cannot accept the towns decision? Everyone in the town has to follow these decisions. Why do they feel they are right and above the majority? Do they believe they have a judge in their pocket? The Stop Valley signs are gone…Valley must now Stop Itself. Please accept what happened which was the right decision and expand on all those other properties that you own. The doctors who don’t work at alley should go independent. No one is leaving their doctors outside Valley because Valley itself is making another poor decision. The doctors who work in Valley should really think about staying now or leaving? I would leave there if you are able. It’s called a good career move.
Hi,
I’ve seen a lot of comments on this blog that people should stop going to Valley, stop using doctors that go to Valley, etc. to try to send the hospital a message.
Unfortunately, I don’t think they would receive that message. The truth of the matter is that most people are not going to stop going to Valley due to this issue. Most will continue using Valley as they always do, but maybe not be happy doing it.
I have no problem with most of the doctors, staff, etc. that work at Valley. I have a serious problem with the administration. They are tone deaf, their embarrassment of attorney Drill should actually be named Tool based on his immature and annoying behavior during the previous legal proceedings, and unless you have a financial interest in Valley, I would think that most residents that were indifferent to Valley’s expansion are now seriously opposing it.
The truth of the matter is, based on my observations about convenience etc., Valley’s arguments that it needs to double its size etc. to compete and to serve the community are irrational. Most people will go to the local medical establishments in their communities. Valley does not need to increase their draw to compete with the megahospitals in the region. If they continue on the path they have followed for the past half a century and focus on the local community and stop the race to nowhere, they could modestly improve over time and still be successful.
Best,

Nice to have TheD back. As doctors do, I concur.
Greedy, win at all costs attitude, is really hurting Valley.
Sergeant Dril, was simply horrible the way he treated people at the meetings.
I hope we all have a Happy Thanksgiving! I am very thankful that our town has made the proper decision against over expansion.
