I emailed her yesterday and she said she had no idea how that rumor got started and that they are fully on schedule and hope to start taking back the new employees in mid April and plan to open in May.

It's Ocean Bank and Huggins Hospital that's laying off people. 13 at HH - 7 at OB

Huggins is another one that puzzles me. They are going to be opening a new building, yet they are laying off? Why wouldn't you just keep them until the new one opens. These people are going to collect unemployment now and cost them more money anyway. Then they will need to hire people back when the new wing opens? And are you telling me that they are opening a multi-million dollar facility but don't have the money to keep employees. That is one doomed Hospital if that is true! Silly!

There are not going to be any new beds in the new hospital so if they don't need help now, they won't need help when the new building is done. I also was very surprised when I heard the hospital is not going to hold more patients. I was also disappointed that it is not going to have a walk in clinic, but then I suppose it would compete with the emergency room.

My understanding is that Huggins receives federal money which limits them to being a certain type of hospital. Therefore they can't have more beds then they have now. They are not the type of hospital that is geared towards longer stays. They handle primarily accidents or other emergency situations.

Huggins owns Alton Family Medical, which is building a new facility behind McDonald's at the Alton Circle. I understand that there will be a walk in clinic there.

I just learned today they are closing their maternity ward all together and expect more layoffs because of it. That makes Wolfeboro's closest maternity ward Laconia now or if you have troubles Mary Hitchcock where I had my children. Not an easy jaunt when you're very pregnant.

Yes, I have heard that too, but wish we could have one right in Wolfeboro.
