In a few weeks, the clinic I go to for counseling (run by Kaleida) is being taken over by another local medical company (ECMC). Because health care in this country is run like a BUSINESS, staff not only has to REAPPLY FOR THEIR OWN JOBS, but the overtaking company's staff gets first chance for applying. These are people's therapists and nurses, this is mental health care, stability and best interests of the clients should be the top priority. There are people who've had the same therapist/nurse for up to 20 years and might have to lose them now and have to get used to someone new.
My last therapist, Gwen, just retired at the end of May, I've only been seeing my current counselor, Andi, since July, and I'm REALLY getting along great with her, and she still doesn't know if she'll have a job in 3 weeks. Even if she does get rehired for her own job, it might be after she's technically lost it. *facepalm* I don’t want to have to move on to therapist number 11 (I think) in 15 years.
It's all so frustrating, both on a personal level and on a large scale. Health care should not be a business.
