    City Council hears views on Lincoln General
HOSPITAL from page 1
HCA, the much maligned for-profit
hospital corporation, or another for
profit hospital, or an affiliation with
an Omaha hospital.
Lee Schroder, the vice chairman
of the Bryan Memorial Hospital
board, said the deal would not change
healthcare in Lincoln much.
“It assures that health services
that are important for Lincoln will be
available in the future,” he said.
Opponents, however, said the deal
does not allow enough public control,
and that the sale was not in the pub
lic’s interest.
“You appear to be selling out that
public trust,” Lou Kirk of Lincoln told
the council. “LGH is a public trust.”
Many members of the opposition
asked the council to delay a vote for
90 days, and allow other options to be
examined.
“We need more time,” said 82
year-old Dan Williams of Lincoln.
Other proposals included opening
the hospital to a revocable lease, con
sidering sale to a for-profit corpora
tion and just doing nothing.
Many people on both sides raised
concerns for quality care, and for
continued care for indigents, which
Lincoln General now does the major
ity.
Supporters of the sale said those
had been taken into account, and that
care for those who can’t afford it
would continue.
Joel Gajardo, the executive direc
tor of the Hispanic Community
Center and member of the Lincoln
General Board of Trustees, told the
council that he was sensitive to pover
ty issues, and supported the sale.
“Change is never easy,” he said.
“But we must always be transformed
to remain true to our calling in life.”
