How do you subvert a nonprofit corporation? Infiltrate the board, deny or even change the mission. Intentionally neglect maintenance of any property to justify demolition and make way for the developers. Muhlenberg Hospital's closing taught us that the most heavily endowed nonprofits, with control of prime real estate, are most vulnerable to special interests taking over control of the board.

Believe In What You Need
With the election of Chris Christie, changes in Trenton will replace many of the people who refused to listen to our concerns and failed to follow legal requirements that a community needs assessment and an impact study must be conducted prior to closing a hospital.
Hope Thompson and Karen Gielen should be proud of the support they received as first-time unfunded candidates. Through this process, we discovered old friends and made new friends for life. We'd like to thank everyone who encouraged us, offered assistance and helped make our issues a vital part of this election.
