Very disappointed as the CEO get approximately 1.5 million dollars a year for a local community hospital, which includes around $250,000 from the WHHS Foundation. WHHS as a trauma center also now gets funds from Alameda County to support it. Their campaign literature lied by stating that WHHS gets no public funding despite getting trauma center funds and property tax that is currently on the property tax statments. Finally their is no real serious accountabilty one how the funding from this measure will be spent as it is mostly vague generalities.
Washington Hospital has delivered terrible care teice when a family member was admitted and documented that my CT was normal when in fact, I had hepatomegaly. My spouse and I are healthcare workers and know when we receive poor care. You are better off going to Highland Hospital or Eden Hospital.
