There are many things I would like to say at that meeting. I'm so outraged that the OUR hospital is closing. I loved working at Kessler. It was my family and my home. This should NEVER have happened. Greed Killed Kessler. There's still lots of sign of GREED in our town. Shame, Shame, Shame.
Like everything else in Hammonton, when you say "our" you are not referring to me, my kids, my family or anyone else. "Ours" is not "yours," right? I have no sympathy for you. Greed (mine, mine mine, or ours, ours, ours) is how you live and how we were treated at Kessler. That is what killed the hospital. Thank God the Atlanticare ER didn't care who we were or who we knew, they just did the job.

I get your point. I can see now why Kessler was ruined. It never was "ours." It was "theirs" and they did whatever benefitted them and not the Town of Hammonton. That's the reason why Almost Everyone went to Virtua or Atlanticare instead.
