Ex-hospital administrator’s Lila Doyle comments

The Lila Doyle nursing and re-hab facility was only five or so years into its operation when a young man from Kentucky arrived to start a long stint as the Oconee Memorial Hospital administrator.  W-H “Ham” Hudson remains in the area in retirement, and we reached him for his take on the announcement that Lila Doyle is getting a new operator.  Hudson’s comments are being aired today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS.  His reaction comes atop that of Steve Nuttall, insurance agent, whose mother had a long stay at Lila Doyle.  Nuttall recognizes that modern-day health care is subject to great change, but he expressed the wish that Prisma Health would have preceded its announcement with a local public meeting.
