Doctors quit Satellite Clinic amid harassment claims
Two young physicians Dr Larry Dansky and Dr Mark Rothstein announced they will leave the Vinton County Satellite Clinic at year end to begin private practice in Athens. They cite increasing demands from Ohio Valley Health Services Foundation executive director Einan Plummer, including pay cuts and higher patient loads, as driving force behind their departure. Plummer counters that production demands aim to stabilize the clinic’s finances and deny pay cuts, proposing an incentive system instead. The doctors say continuing obstetric care and hospital practice would be jeopardized to meet those demands.
