“We are grateful for the Review Board’s time and attention through a long public hearing, and humbly appreciate the decision to defer. Blessing sincerely believes that QMG’s second surgery center proposal is not in the best interests of the greater Quincy community. We are deeply committed to better options, including collaboration, and we eagerly await federal government approval of a new pricing model for the existing surgery center – immediately bringing 30% reductions in facility and other fees. We are resolved to do all we can to bring down prices of health care in Quincy.
“This was a tough day, with occasional harsh tones and some inaccurate statements. Like a family that must occasionally overcome conflict, Blessing and QMG will do the same. Tomorrow brings a new day, and Blessing intends to move forward with outreach and sincerity, and commitment to the Quincy community. “
