Buy and bust: After Platinum Health took control of Noble sites, all hospital workers were fired
CBSN
The news, under Noble Health letterhead, arrived at 5:05 p.m. on a Friday, with the subject line: "Urgent Notice." Audrain Community Hospital, Paul Huemann's workplace of 32 years, was letting workers go.
Word travels fast in a small town. Huemann's wife, Kym, first heard the bad news in the car when a friend who'd gotten the letter, too, texted.
"Your termination was not foreseeable," said the letter, dated Sept. 8 and signed Platinum Health Systems, adding that the firing was permanent "with no recourse" and that the "medical facility will be shuttered."
Embattled aircraft giant Boeing Wednesday argued to the Justice Department that the company has upheld its end of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, and pushed back at federal prosecutors who wrote last month that the plane manufacturer has violated the deal and risked being prosecuted, two people familiar with the discussions confirmed to CBS News.
