Why is it necessary to wind down services before the new facility is fully operational? Why should a service like Rotacare (or MayView) be staffed by volunteers anyway? In 2015 the MV Voice reported that El Camino Hospital raked in more money than anticipated in 2015, ending with $65 million in extra cash" Web Link

El Camino is a for-profit business, they certainly do not deserve the .ORG domain name, their desire for maximum profit is reflected in their pricing. I don't think it makes any sense at all to give money and volunteer time to a hospital which features a marble lobby and a baby grand piano. How does El Camino give back to the Community? (besides fluff programs like Health Perks, I don't need another pedometer or travel mug).

@Kathy: Because despite the program being fully funded, they aren't able to attract the staff required to cover the mandatory, paid staffing positions. That point was raised in earlier articles about the (now certain) closure of RotaCare. I was suspicious too, but in this particular case it wouldn't surprise me that paid positions are going unfilled for want of talent. My bioinformatics startup is having a hard time finding biosciences people to move to a pricey part of the US; why should the medical industry be any different.
