Boston Medical Care Center Announces Plans to Cut Back

The failing economy is affecting even the most basic of community needs. The Boston Medical Center will lay off over 250 employees, reduce its hours and cut key patient services, such as primary care, pediatric care and geriatric care. Those who will be affected by this change the most- other than the employees that will lose their jobs- are the low income families that make up over half of the hospital's patients.

Interpreters will be cut from the payroll, making it difficult for more than 30 percent of the patient population, which does not speak English. It is important for patients to realize that they have rights when they receive medical care. The lawyers at Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein LLP are experts, not only in healthcare law, but also in business and employment law.
