Pastor Singletary of Columbia Memorial Hospital

Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson has announced plans to downsize to a Critical Access Hospital in order to increase its reimbursement rate for Medicare and Medicaid. However, this would reduce the number of authorized beds from 192 to 25 and would continue its recent trend of reducing services. Pastor Kim Singletary, one of a number of faith leaders who have spoken out against the changes, talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
