They could do much more
To the editor:
Regarding the editorial, “Who pays?” (April 23, page A8), about whether Danville City Council or the Danville Regional Foundation should pay the bill for a consultant to evaluate the situation at Danville Regional Medical Center, I was under the impression that the foundation was established to improve the health, education and the welfare of the citizens served by the hospital.
Putting their proverbial money where their mouth is indicates to me that the foundation is taking action to achieve part of its mission responsibly by paying the consultant’s bill.
The foundation might further consider establishing a free-standing, permanent empowerment and advocacy center for the citizens in this area so they may never again be duped by the likes of boys at the bank. The center could educate ordinary citizens about their rights and responsibilities, not only regarding health care, but civic issues as well. Imagine area citizens having the ongoing opportunity to empower themselves and gaining confidence to speak up for themselves, be informed enough to ask important questions and then become involved enough to expect more of those who lead them!
Perhaps people who are upset that the foundation is footing the consultant’s bill could propose the city contribute that mere drop in the bucket of $25,000 to help co-sponsor the building of such an empowerment center.

From the "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" files:
Working to make it better
To the editor:
Although Coy Harville’s letter (“Finally, some good news,” May 6, page B10) is primarily directed at others, I would like to note for the Danville Register & Bee’s readers that the Danville Regional Medical Center staff remains hard at work 24 hours a day providing quality health care to the community.
Excellent physicians are caring for their patients in a quality setting at Danville Regional. There is a concentrated effort underway to successfully address any concerns brought to our attention, whether it is from the Joint Commission, the Citizen’s Committee appointed by the mayor or individual patients or patient families.
We greatly appreciate the many positive letters of support that have been sent to the Register & Bee, and to individuals and groups at Danville Regional.

NEGLIGENCE DUE TO UNDERSTAFFING is not quality care.Intimidation is not a management style.
GO HOME ART.....
So what career aspirations does Coy harville have?????
Who cares the only reason he has any interest is because his wife works in the mess known as lifepoint.
You should know what his favorite pastime is ...Harrasing his neighbors for his own monetary gain while less than a mile away a hazardous dump known as a "recycling" center operates freely, destroys publicly funded roads, destroys a family gravesite, and claims other peoples property for it's own even though the land has been legally defended and surveyed.The smell and noise is never ending and the land was never zoned anything but residential yet the "Shelton good old boy board" in chatham saw it appropriate to put this haz mat spill right in the middle of an established neighborhood next to many watersheds for creeks feeding the dan river. You see Mr Harville owns land next to a long established business but until Mr. Harville bought the land it was no problem and since the "recycling" dump is not adjoining his it's not a problem. If only everyone knew the rest..... of the story.There are so many years to tell.....
Oh yeah Harville got caught "dumpster diving " and there's a photo.
