Yesterday, we wrote about a letter Dr. Jock Cobb sent to his patients about what he believed was his clinic’s unceremonious ousting from the Sherwood building he rented from St. Vincent Health.
I asked spokesperson Margaret Dedman what St. Vincent’s plans were for the building, whether the decision not to renew Cobb’s lease was part of its $12 million budget cut and who would be the new Medical Director of St. Vincent North hospital. I didn’t get answers to those questions, but did get this this morning:
Below is the St. Vincent statement in response to your inquiry yesterday. This statement is the only comment St. Vincent will make about this issue. Thanks,
Margaret Preston Dedman
We are disappointed by the letter sent by Dr. Cobb to his patients regarding his recent change in location. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify what has happened. We have already clarified the facts around this decision with the board members and physicians that Dr. Cobb chose to call during the process. We are confident that the board and broader physician community support this decision.
