Should the legislators Florida to postpone the closure of the Rockledge Hospital?


Do colleges go too far to remove all the conditions of websites? Check the results of the survey of last week

In the past few weeks, the cities of Kocao and Rockledge have determined Orlando's resolutions in which Orlando Health does not close the doors in the Rock Ledge Hospital for at least two years, or until a new facility is in operation so that no gap in the critical health services for the community.

The 298-bed hospital is to be finally closed on April 22 on April 22. Just four months after the purchase of Rockledge Hospital, Orlando Health announced plans to conclude the poor physical condition of the hospital. The company said the institution made it unsafe for patients and employees and intended to build a new hospital in Brevard County, but did not say when or where.

Both resolutions were sent to the majority of Florida House, Tyler Sirois, R-Merritt Iceland, who in Tallahassee leads the efforts to put pressure on the health of Orlando in order to change the planned closure of the hospital in order to leave the residents of cocoa and rock leather without a nearby hospital.

This week Sirois sent a letter to the president and CEO of Orlando Health, in which he asked him to move the hospital at least until July 1st and continue the emergency rooms by October 31.

The hospital employs 940 people.

Last Sunday I asked them whether the universities went too far to remove all diversity, equity and inclusion conditions on websites.

The results of the survey are:

Do colleges go too far to remove all the diversity, equity and inclusion terms from websites?

Yes: 63.74%

No: 36.26%

Here is what you had to say:

The ethnic cleaning of any mention of diversity in pubic and private institutions has gone too far. What's next …. Only photos of white men on their websites.

For far too long, groups were deliberately denied equality due to the color of their skin, gender or national origin. Lated that the elimination of discrimination based on Dei -Remo -Te's era of the white men, makes decisions about our ability to receive an apprenticeship, to apply for jobs, to apply for reasonable apartments and to screw the principles of why DEI is necessary. We forgot how difficult it was for all of us to realize our life dreams because barriers were introduced by bias.

It's too late to stop DEI. Dei is embedded everywhere. The Supreme Court forced two universities to submit its Dei approval program. In the following year, the approvals for minorities rose. Quarter back in the NFL was all white, no longer. Did you notice the DEI in the Trump administration? We have four women, two Hispanics and a gay man in the cabinet. You can no longer get dei. The list continues and continues.

The scrubbing of diversity, justice and inclusion “Terms such as women, endangered, disability, representation of interests and racism from College -is a stupid undertaking to calm down people who are not cheated by a world order. The initiatives are the source for family vacation, subtitles and learning accommodation IEPs for children at school.
