The Washington County Hospital Board of Directors met Tuesday night and heard complaints that there is no cable television in the hospital.  That wasn’t quite the whole truth, but it was close.  President and Chief Executive Officer Nancy Newby says they did lose service on April 22^nd, but were eventually able to find 6 boxes to attach to televisions, but not in individual rooms, which made it difficult or impossible for all patients to watch.  That took time to track down, but there was some service Tuesday night.  Charter Communications recently made a change from analog signal to digital and that a box is required to plug into first, but the hospital never received any notification and they lost all television signals.  This is because the hospital was under a special listing to receive it free as a government installation, something that Charter is doing away with, but the hospital wasn’t on any notification list.  Newby says she was able to finally talk to their new representative and a Regional Manager out of Tennessee, who will facilitate the change.  The hospital will receive a new master box, which is an analog solution box, and it will connect to all televisions, just as before.  The change is that it will cost the hospital $14,000 to do so.  This will not affect any of the remotes throughout the patient rooms either.  They will still use the universal remote that can control the television and make calls for the nurse and operate the bed.  The hospital will be paying Charter $250 per month for the service and channels though.  She says there is one stipulation they have with Charter and that is if they agree with this, they want service immediately, especially at that cost.
