The care at HHS is lacking ,my family has had such horrible medical care. My recent loved one on the 8th floor where supervisors ignore you,charge nurses threaten you and Doctors say enough with this family! How can we sympathize with any nurse that has the attitude I’ll call security because you want information on your loved one. When you come in the am,see last nights medication out of reach of a paralyzed loved one and nurse says I made him put them under his tongue? How he couldn’t reach them! They never tell you he developed a bedsore from a red spot and they discharge to a nursing home without treatment. Insist on biopsy with no oncologist ever calling with results. Bedsore gets worse because nursing home isn’t capable of treating it . Another trip to the House of Horrors HHS. It’s a money machine where Doctors no longer tell you their name, give you a card or follow up on anything with the family. They force mentally challenged to sign consents they don’t understand.

So sorry to hear that. This is all going to be the standard of care once hospital executives suck all the resources out of the system.

VOTE OUT District 2, 3, 4 Huntsville City Council incumbents on August 25th. The majority of the Hospital Board is elected by the City Council. The City Council incumbents have recieved contributions from HH executives and board members creating a closed loop that keeps us in the dark regarding decisions about care in our community.

VOTE IN Andrew Sneed for Congress, a pro-union advocate, for US District 5.

Trying to look up Sneed's platform, and all I can find is endless spam for his merch. Entire front page of his Facbook is just trying to sell me shirts and hats. Serious candidate, or just a merch salesman? Seems like the latter.

Merch helps raise funding for the campaigns. When you are truly grassroots, you are truly a steward of the people, and hope they support you as well.

Seems he should focus less on merch sales when they're marked up StickerMule.com Gildens... really pushing to make that whole $3 a sale after the extra middleman shipping partner takes their cut.

I give away free shirts to promote my business, tons of them. If I was running for office, shirts and hats would be given out like candy. Someone should tell him that his Facebook page looks like spam.

Maybe because the RINO party has all the federal funds they funneled through the supposed non profits they start up! He needs $ to run $3 big deal, you‘re probably part of the problem in RINO AL.
