Lafourche Parish Councilmembers and public attendees engaged in a heated debate regarding a feasibility study to explore a partnership between Lady of the Sea General Hospital in Cut Off, La., and Thibodaux (La.) Regional Medical Center, according to a report by the Daily Comet.
Lady of the Sea employees and leaders voiced disapproval that the parish council had approved the study without alerting hospital officials. A board member said the goal was to explore bringing specialist into the small hospital, not about a potential merger that could risk jobs or local governance of the hospital.
