Weakest Members Of Greenwich Society Are Suffering On Multi-Millionaire CEO Frank Corvino's Watch

Over the last 18 months Greenwich Hospital President and CEO Frank Corvino has repeatedly been made aware of how homeless patients from the Town of Greenwich are treated at the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic. These serious complaints that were brought to Mr. Corvino's attention included reports of Greenwich Hospital Clinic employees mocking and publicly discussing Greenwich Hospital patients that have sought out mental health care in the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient headed by Dr. Stephen Jones. Moreover, there have been much more serious complaints of Greenwich Hospital Clinic employees improperly releasing patient information from the admitting area and reception area of the second floor outpatient clinic. Dr Jones' staff have repeatedly been heard and observed discussing patients private and confidential information loudly on speaker phones or by unprofessionally shouting a patients confidential information over office partitions. Greenwich Hospital patients medical record numbers, dates of birth, social security numbers, employers,phone numbers and home addresses are routinely and illegally released in the Greenwich Hospital Clinic. There have also been numerous complaints about Greenwich Hospital Clinic's routine (not Specialist) medical appointments are often not made before the patient leaves the second floor clinic at Greenwich Hospital. Many times these physician appointments are not made at all placing the hospital at risk for lawsuits for failing to follow up on patient's vitally needed medical treatments. Greenwich Hospital Outpatient administrator Kristen Suarez blamed the problems on being shorthanded, because of the steady stream of out patient clinic cutbacks, instituted by Greenwich Hospital CEO Frank Corvino. But this doesn't explain why the privacy rules and laws, along with Greenwich Hospital patient rights are not prominently posted near the outpatient clinic reception desk or in treatment rooms.

Greenwich Hospital Is Becoming A Tattered Angel On Highly Compensated Frank Corvino's Watch

Greenwich Hospital president; and CEO Frank Corvino, who receives a salary package of $168,493, has allowed the town healthcare institution to slide into debt. Mr. Corvino's compensation has caused some eyebrows to be raised in town, given the Greenwich Hospital's dire financial situation and continued employee cutbacks. Every department at Greenwich Hospital is suffering, because of Mr. Corvino's lack of leadership When a town resident goes to get a "state of the art" CAT Scan in the radiology department of Greenwich Hospital; the poor unfortunate patient is taken to dressing room that is smaller than one found at Macy's. In this bare bones dressing room are four 6 inch wide lockers that can only hold a ladies purse if it is squeezed in sideways as the door is slamed. Once undressed the dear lady of Greenwich is offered an ill fitting and tattered hospital gown with only three of the four sting ties attached. But this problem is solved by the radiologist telling every patient getting a CAT Scan to put on two raggedy gowns. One is attached in the front and one is attached in the back. One lady was overheard saying,"If Greenwich Hospital can no longer afford decent gowns, then they should cut some of the fat from Frank's big fat payday." I guess we had better not tell this lady that Mr. Corvino's Executive VP raked in $791,085 and his Senior VP took home $716,899 as she sits next to a stained carpet. Maybe the ladies of Greenwich society should start bringing their own gowns to Greenwich Hospital's radiation department. The sad truth is that we all know that Mr. Corvino is seeking even more compensation this year; from the Angel of Greenwich that is starting to look tired and tattered around the edges. Greenwich Hospital's solicitation efforts have raised over $140 million from our community in recent years, and yet Mr. Corvino can't afford to buy new gown for ladies getting a CAT scan.
