CEO of Mercy Hospital to resign
John Matuska, chief executive of Mercy Hospital, is taking early retirement. Coincidence?''My decision to resign . . . has been long in process,'' Matuska said in a statement. ''I have elected to take an early retirement in order to spend time with my family and pursue other opportunities of interest.''
Spending time with family, isn't that what all the politicians say when they are shamed out of office? Wonder if John is going to try and pawn off that undeveloped Mercy land before he leaves, now what The Related Group isn't going to be needing it.

....more time with the family. Yeah right!
Did you ever think that it might have nothing to do w/ Related Group and the Development? I wonder if he's leaving because Mercy isn't making as much money as other local hospitals because Mercy is slower in getting patients out of the hospital. Maybe this is costing the hospital more money than other local hospitals. Perhaps Mercy wants a stronger person in charge who will be able to manage the utilization of hospital resources in a more cost effective, expeditious manner. The Doctors may be making a lot more money by keeping the patients at Mercy in the hospital longer than at other hospitals, but Mercy loses money. But, maybe it really is related to the Related Group and has nothing to do with hospital operations. We can only wonder.
I have no idea why he is departing his position, but despite the circumstances, I have had several positive experiences at Mercy Hospital.
The hospital business is very difficult especially given an environment and political class that believes healthcare should be "free"
I think that John Matuska the Mercy Hospital CEO is departing to Save Face.
The efforts of a mismanaged hospital, greedy developer and unscrupulous elected leaders to illegally create spot zoning that would do irreversible damage to our community have imploded.
Thank goodness that our court system is protecting us.
Too bad we can’t expect the same justice from most of our elected leaders.
Perhaps if the three commissioners outside of District 2 had determined that our District 2 Commissioner knows what is best for our community,
this ordeal could have been spared for all of us.
It is hard to believe that a not for profit institution like Mercy Hospital has not been able to save some of those millions of tax free dollars they have earned in the past 30 or so years.
What will it take for them to be managed well enough to operate more efficiently?
Mercy needs to get a loan, raise more charitable funding, get Jorge Perez to donate money for naming rights or build a much needed assisted living facility if they wish to survive.
What they tried to do was to raise money by selling off some of their property.
To bad that this misguided effort would result in an illegal zoning change, that would be president setting, open up a Pandora’s Box of more out of scale condos and damage our Grove community for many years to come.
Shame on Mercy Hospital, Perez, Spence-Jones, Gonzalez, Sanchez, Winton, Diaz, Fernadez , Arriola, Natoma and Bay Hiegts for trying to sell us out.
Thank goodness to all those folks that care more about Coconut Grove then their pocket books.
