Has anyone shared your concerns about the many changes at the Miriam Hospital that may affect us dramatically? You can share your concerns here or call them directly

Monica Anderson at Miriam answers the hotline at 793-4040 and has been involved with the Summit Neighborhood Association

The emergency room no longer does pediatrics. My three year old son woke up at 3 a.m. with an ear infection last week, and Miriam sent my wife all the way to Hasbro. The extra four mile trip seems to defeat the purpose of an emergency room.

Thanks that is exactly what I fear will be expanding of more things that RI Hospital does not want to do as a community resource.

Their robotic surgery was not wanted at RI Hospital so it wound up at Miriam Hospital as another example plus the feeling as you go into RI Hospital is as a patient vs member of the Community at Miriam Hospital.

oct 22 from 5:30-7 in the Fain Bldg on fifth st in the 2nd floor will be a Q7A of the ne director  arthur Sampson if you have questions on your mind.
