Alta Vista Hospital is doing its best

It seems that most of the time you refer to Alta Vista you add “for profit.” Letters from others and quotes form others also add that comment.

Are you against the idea of a firm attempting to make a profit? From what I can determine you are hired by “for profit newspaper.”

The local hospital has attempted to recruit and keep qualified OB physicians. They do not come and if they do they do not last long.

Mil Gracias

On behalf of the family of Vicky Ortiz, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff of NMBHI Meadows Evergreen North. We would like to recognize the nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dieticians, cooks, beauticians, activity therapists, doctors, social workers, housekeepers, foster grandmother, and administrators for their hard work and dedication.

Political cartoon uncalled for

The political cartoon published in the April 20 edition  was unworthy of the Optic, in my opinion.

Stating that the upcoming presidential election consists only of bad choices is cynical enough, and the illustration is even worse. A communist hammer and sickle for Bernie Sanders? Really?

Lawmakers should be transparent

President Kennedy once stated: “The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society… We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent fact far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.”
