A nurse from Hampstead Hospital has voiced serious concerns regarding the impending takeover by Dartmouth Health, drawing a stark comparison to her experiences in Afghanistan. "I was in Afghanistan. The last time I felt as scared as I was over there was probably at this hospital," said Stokes, highlighting the anxiety that the potential changes could bring to both staff and patients.
Stokes elaborated on her fears, emphasizing that the transition could lead to significant disruptions in the quality of care provided. She expressed worries about the impact on staffing levels and the potential loss of community-oriented services that have been a hallmark of Hampstead Hospital.
The nurse's statement reflects a broader sentiment among healthcare professionals who fear that the takeover may prioritize financial considerations over patient care. As discussions continue, many are calling for transparency and reassurance that the needs of the community will remain at the forefront of any changes.
