Citizens group questions Carilion

jjackson60 — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:48:54 GMT

A group of physicians critical of Carilion Clinic is shifting its agenda by forming a new group that represents a broader citizenry.

Members of the physicians group Coalition for Responsible Healthcare have spearheaded an effort to start a sister organization, the Citizen Coalition for Responsible Healthcare.

“We’re stepping back to allow other people get involved,” said Dr. Geoff Harter , president of the original coalition. “We want to portray this not as being a one-man campaign and really morph our efforts into the Citizen Coalition for Responsible Healthcare.”

The citizens group, which as of Monday had not been incorporated, is holding a 7 p.m. meeting today at the Ramada Inn at 1927 Franklin Road to unveil its leadership and plans for examining the effect Carilion has on regional health care.

Discuss the new groups and the effort to examine Carilion's effect on health care in the region.
