plumber2 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Rumor has it that Shriner's Burns Hospital will not reopen. They got two feet of water in their building, now they want to call it quits. Come on, Methodist Hospital had two floors totally inundated in 2001, along with Baylor, Memorial Hermann and others in the Texas Medical Center. There was never any discussions about not reopenning. These instituitions rebuilt, and protected themselves from it ever happenning again. What is it with these Shriner people? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timnwendy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The word I'm hearing, from Galvestonians in-the-know, is that Shriner's will not be reopening. I hope they are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They laid off their 300 employees yesterday. Memorial Hermann likely will like have to take on many of the patients. KTRK report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber2 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 They laid off their 300 employees yesterday. Memorial Hermann likely will like have to take on many of the patients.KTRK reportThe Galveston Daily News reported that The Shriner's parent organization lost over 3 billion dollars out of it's 9 billion dollar fund balance. I wonder if they were had by Bernie Maydoff? A lot of charities were ripped off by that guy. It would not surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
