As you may know we followed this story when if was first reported. I emailed the Administration at the Hospital and inquired as to the situation and expressed my concern about the actions taken. To my surprise they answered my email! Read their Response Below.
We share your anger and hurt about the removal of the flag. It is very important to clarify that a misunderstanding has been communicated through the media. The supervisor that is described in the media is actually the co-worker of Ms. McLucas and not Ms. McLucas's immediate supervisor. The incident was two nursing supervisors who got into a dispute.
It was wrong and disrespectful and as soon as we learned about it, we took immediate action to correct the situation. The flag is now proudly displayed once again, and we apologize to all who were equally offended by this unpatriotic action, including the owner of the flag. We have reprimanded the employee and let them know we don't tolerate behavior inconsistent with our Company's values.
The response was sent by Dave Inman of Kindred Healthcare.
I appreciate the response and support their decision to rectify the situation. Thank you to them for their response and it is great to hear that they have allowed the American Flag to Fly.
