Hearing addresses corporate consolidation of health care facilities in Northeastern PA

(Oct 18, 2021)

STROUDSBURG, Oct. 18 – Hospital systems consolidate for various reasons and, as they continue adapting to the changing market, communities are impacted. COVID-19 accelerated changes in ways that forced community hospitals like St. Luke’s University Health Network and other hospitals serving the Northeastern Pennsylvania region to change their business model. The Northeast Delegation Chairwoman, Rep. Maureen Madden, D-Monroe, hosted a House Democratic Policy Committee hearing in Stroudsburg Monday afternoon discussing corporate consolidation of health care facilities so that elected officials can learn more about the issue. “I’m so grateful to those who testified today so that we can learn and understand how we as a legislature can support our communities and health systems,” Madden said. “As a state representative, I have partnered with St. Luke’s to create a level of medical care that has not been available here in the mountains. It’s so important that when consolidation happens, we do it with this in mind so that we can maintain the high quality of care that residents here receive.” House Members in attendance heard testimony from two panels. The first panel consisted of three professionals who work in or closely with hospitals who commented on market pressures and why systems are forced to consolidate. Testifiers in the first panel included John Nespoli, President, St. Luke’s University Health Network; Read more

Madden: American Rescue Plan funds additional hotspots for Eastern Monroe Public Library

(Oct 04, 2021)

MONROE, Oct. 4 – With funding that will literally keep constituents connected, state Rep. Maureen Madden announced a $24,696 Emergency Connectivity Fund grant for the Eastern Monroe Public Library . According to Library Director Susan Lyons, the funding will be used to dramatically increase the number of mobile hotspots Eastern Monroe lends out to members of the community. The library currently has 30 hotspots that were purchased via library fundraiser, but it will soon add 40 more for use by local residents. "The resources and services Eastern Monroe Public Library offers, including increased connectivity for area residents, create opportunities for learning and for personal growth," Madden said. "The library supports literacy and education for constituents, and I know it takes a lot more than a substantial amount of reading material for a library to function properly. I'm so glad this funding will make a very real and immediate impact for this popular hotspot program." Added Lyons: "This program is incredibly popular, so much so that we've had more demand for these hotspots than we've been able to supply. With this grant, that will hopefully change very soon, as we're expecting to receive 40 new hotspots this week. Those who check out the hotspots, which have about a gigabyte of bandwidth, use them to connect to the internet, where they and their families can do research for school projects and for new job opportunities, Read more
