A dream takes shape as designs for Chattanooga’s new children’s hospital revamped, 3rd Street revealed
Erlanger hospital’s “big reveal” of a new children’s hospital design and revamped Third Street shows a building with windows rivaling a kaleidoscopic dream on steroids.
But there surely must be something more than steroids in the Kool-aid Erlanger executives seem to be drinking of late.
This is, after all, the same hospital that — though in the black now — was posting three consecutive years of multimillion-dollar deficits until the end of fiscal 2014 when it received an infusion from the federal government.
And this hospital is in the state of Tennessee which seems to be steadfastly spurning more federal dollars if those dollars come with any hint of the Affordable Care Act — aka Obamacare.
