I've been seeing this story hit my email box all week and I just haven't had time to figure out what it was all about until yesterday. The University of Cincinnati's president and Marc Dann have been urging members of the Health Alliance to settle a dispute out of court. Readers Digest version: Two hospitals want out of the Alliance; the Alliance wants them to stay. Long version found here.
Right about now, you are thinking, "What the %^&& does this have to do with Jim Petro?"
Marc Dann, of nepotism fame, recommended Jim Petro to head up the negotiations, but officials from Christ Hospital rejected him. (see the "BOARD REACTS" sidebar, paragraph five)
