I was at the meeting and was so happy to see our community come out to support our Hospital and our Doctors that have given so much of their life to this Community. We have Four of the best Doctors any-where located in Jay. They could have gone any place but they come home to help the people of this area. All four are Jay High Grads. Smart and care about those they treat. Our Community is building and we need our Jay Hospital as it is what ever it takes. I am so disappointed in Baptist Hospital that I feel if they don’t want us there are others that do. To management of Baptist Hospital I say Shame Shame on you to betray a friend like you have. Dr. Smith is great person a find christian man and the best Doctor don’t forget he could be the one to save your life. He is allways puting others needs before his. God Bless DR.David Smith his son DR.Micheal , Dr.Kelly, Dr.Stewart, Dr.Raney they all are healers at Jay Hospital.

Baptist got caught out in the open with their pants down. They were gonna pull a fast one here and and slide this deal under the table. The upper management of Baptist Hospital are the most money hungry folks I,ve ever seen to be a non-profit entity. To add insult to injury they treat their employees like dirt while wanting to espouse a Christian value workplace. You Baptist employees at Jay know who and what i’m talking about. The really sad thing though is that with the abuse of the emergency room at Jay by a certain crowd, the hospitals days are numbered. Folks, no business can continue to pour millions of dollars down a rathole with absolutely no return on investment, whether it be for profit or non profit. Uncle Sam is flat broke, thanks to all the tax sucking bums entitlement programs for the last 37 years have created, and your muslim marxist president has or will cut medicare and medicaid to the bone. It can’t last operating as non-profit.

Baptist is only thinking about what is best for them. Trying to dump our hospital shows that. If their intentions were honorable, they wouldve had the physicians involved and informed. I thougt Jay Hospital was suppose to become a teaching hospital many years ago. Thought there was already an established relationship with FSU, but nothing appeared to ever happen.

Baptist made an agreement. They need to keep it! Thanks Dr Smith and all of our Doctors for fighting for us! When Century lost it’s hospital, very few stood up to fight. So having the support of doctors and communty are a major milestone! Let’s keep up the fight.

Dr. Smith stated that we (Jay Hospital and the community, which is made up of many surrounding areas) are David and Baptist Health Care and H.M.A. are Goliath. We’ve got only one stone for our slingshot so we’d better break it in half, so we will have two. I say lets throw as many stones as we can to save our hospital!! Please contact the Santa Rosa County Commissioners and let them know that we want them to vote NO on May 12th at 9:00. We do not want theJay hospital to change in any way. We need to tell them to be the voice of the people and not side with the Goliath. ph. 850-983-1877or e-mail Bocc@santarosa.fl.gov

It was a great showing from the community to get informed and support Jay Hospital and It’s High Quality Employees.

The Issue is clear and the steps we can take as a community working as one to push back against this proposed merger.

Contacting the County Commissioners of Santa Rosa County and Showing Up For May 12th Commissioners Meeting at 9 am in Milton Florida to let our voices be heard and strong

This is so crazy to even try to do this to such a good place for
everyone…I live in Walnut Hill and go to Dr D. Smiths office regular and I
have most of my family that also go there and I know many other that may
travel more than I do this is a shame for this to even think of happening
to such a great place..my dad rest his soul would only go to Jay Hospital when
he was still with us and he was from Pensacola so that goes to show you
that Jay Hospital and the staff are very special for everyone now and in the past.
Hope things go for the best and we can keep our hospital……..
