"Strategic Engagement"  Wow!  I bet that sounded good in the board room when they were going over the 'numbers'!  

I'm willing to venture that there was no serious discussion at Catholic church-run Peacehealth regarding the moral aspect of its responsibilities to or of discontinuing its employment of up to 500 people.  All that some of them, perhaps half, have now is a promise of a sign that says 'priority'.  I'm also willing to venture that they should expect cuts in wages, as well as in employment, health and retirement benefits.  The other half, not so much.
