Looks like Dambly construction is off the board. Think he’s still on the Penn State Health board (along with Masser)…still fleecing our university…construction of new facilities in Lancaster and Mechanicsburg, yet can’t even adequately staff the mothership in Hershey…Today Penn State Health is advertising 1484 job openings….

There is a massive shortage of healthcare workers. There was before the pandemic, now it is exorbitantly worse. Blaming one health systems job openings on one person is so misguided (and ignorant) it isn’t even funny.

Not likely, pilgrim. People will lose interest quickly. May raise its ugly head when PSU goes to market to fund the projects. Will, again, die out shortly.

Now that’s funny. It’s a daily obsession with some of you. Unfortunately, it won’t go away that easily.

Sorry you don’t get it…there was never legitimate cause for building new facilities, just a money making opportunity for Dambly…if Penn State Health hadn’t built 2 additional hospitals, they would be having much more success staffing the facilities in Hershey.

Some of you should take a break from obsessing over things you can’t control and go have a drink for Cinco de mayo. Life is too short. Relax. Stay thirsty my friends.

I multitask. Sitting in Starbucks obsessing over things I can’t control (and don’t understand) while nursing a vanilla latte.

Every hospital in America is having staffing issues right now. Again, your perspective is skewed. If you want to start conspiracy theories about why facilities were built, take that argument up with someone else, I’m not interested. All I am telling you is my experience as a healthcare provider for over 20 years.

You are an awesome multitasker then because you are on here complaining daily about the BOT and voicing your opinion. Now that Lubrano and Paterno won it should be all rainbows and unicorns, right? No reason to complain. Those two will fix everything.

Obsession? No. Recreation, like going to the driving range, taking batting practice.

Then you are well aware that labor projections well before the pandemic and the construction of additional facilities revealed that adequately staffing the new facilities would be highly improbable….

Need Pope to run again next year and vote out short.
Well I know a little about most of the members, and a few I have met personally threw the 12 years a few times. I don’t claim to be friends with any of them. I never heard rumors that so in so is out to hurt PS.
I have met Alice, seems like a nice person and spoke with intellect. I appreciate her help in the disastrous Freeh report.
I also met Brandon multiple times including as a player. He bleeds blue, and has his Master from Columbia business school. I’m not sure what you have against him Joe. He has a fantastic career going but still volunteers his time to make PSU great again.

It's a good thing other people are here to obsess over you obsessing over Brandon Short obsessing over people obsessing over the well being of the university. I was getting lonely.

Are you aware that many hospital expansions/building projects are done with grants, loans, endowments, etc that if the project isn’t completed they lose the money? It’s a much more complicated situation than you seem to be aware of.

You aren’t obsessed? How many times today did you comment on this topic? How many times every day do you comment on it? I’m assuming you are retired since you have all day to comment.

Yes, we will increase costs substantially if you give us something "free."

You have to spend money to spend money.

Once again, you take everything in a direction you want to take it. You can’t help yourself but to make everything political. I’m sure you’re a blast to hang out with.

The original comment was about one person corrupting the building process within PSU Health for his own personal gain. It’s a big accusation to make. I simply pointed some things the original poster failed to acknowledge.

Good luck. If the last name isn’t Paterno, Lubrano, or Pope, this crew doesn’t want to hear their opinion. They just want them to STFU.

Oh ********. I detest people's inability to evaluate projects on their merits. People have somehow got it in their mindset that spending money solves everything. I remember taking Six Sigma courses over 20 years ago and thinking why is this all the rage (at the time), and then it occurred to me its real benefit was teaching root cause analysis to the average person. The average person just isn't taught proper analytical skills. I've been saying you have to spend money to spend money for years. Why? Because most people think the goals of the people proposing the spending actually align with their vision of what will be accomplished. Look at the stadium project. Are you even aware it doesn't meet its financial objectives?
