😷New Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing - John Fitzgibbon Memorial Hospital Inc.😷

The Hospital’s campus also includes other facilities blah blah blah and there are two off-site rural health care clinics in some bumf*ck parts of Missouri that literally nobody has ever heard of outside of those bumf*ck parts of Missouri.

Which is not to say that they don’t do, like, medical stuff. They do. And it’s important medical stuff in a rural part of the country often overlooked by the coastal elites who generally don’t give a flying f*ck about that part of the country.
