Ten formal meetings of the coalition formed. Com- mittees were set up. Doctors worked all day; in between patients they discussed the hospital's fate. For Dr. Beckman, Sinai's future was worth the extra hours. "I am ethnically very pro- ud of being Jewish," said Dr. Beckman, opthalmology chairman. "Sinai represents a vehicle to which I can devote myself to Jewish and medical ethics at the same time. I bring all of my pa- tients to Sinai. "The coalition just happened in response to a notion that a merger with the DMC was conceivable," Dr. Beckman said. "With a merger with the DMC, the hospital's identity might be lost. "It prompted us to show that we were viable in our own right," Dr. Beckman said. "To be a partner, like getting married, you first must make sure you know who you are." Sinai President Robert Steinberg said recent discus- sions with DMC were con- structive and positive. The decision not to continue talks, he said, was a direct result of the success of the physicians' coalition. Merger, he said, no longer is an option. By the end of December, Sinai had boosted its in- patient tally to between 400 and 420 patients each night — up from its average 350- patient-per-night census. This week, Mr. Steinberg said, the figure escalated to over 430 patients per night. Mr. Steinberg said the hospital hopes to increase that patient census to 500 each night. The doctors' recent show of support convinced board of trustees president Merle Harris to change his mind about the hospital's future. "The doctors demonstrated by the increase in the census that there was a way to make it," Mr. Harris said. "Before they demonstrated their ability to bring in pa- tients, other options seemed available. When they dem- onstrated we could be viable, I wanted to stay open. When we thought we couldn't be viable, I wanted to close." Chief of Staff Dr. Norman Bolton said, "We were con- vinced the hospital could survive." In the last two years, Sinai has made attempts to merge with DMC and the Henry Ford Health Care Corp. Original talks with DMC were called off to focus on Ford. Later, Ford ter- minated negotiations with Sinai. Most recently, Sinai re-entered discussions with DMC. "We felt that because we didn't have a commitment from the doctors, we looked at merging," Mr. Steinberg said. "But with reorganiza- tion and medical leadership, doctors who were in limbo are back. The patients didn't come from new doctors." Dr. Bolton said physicians at first didn't realize the se- rious nature of Sinai's prob- lem. Historically, doctors rarely became involved in hospital politics. Observers said ad- ministrators didn't work with doctors and the trustees had their own game plan. "We were all on the same team, but we weren't follow- ing the same game plan," Mr. Steinberg said. "When everything coalesced, it worked. "We have a unanimous mandate from our board of "Probably one of the most gratifying things in my life was when the board, the administration, the doctors and the Jewish community came together out of crisis to form a new system." Dr. Hugh Beckman trustees to continue opera- tions as an independent health care system. Our physicians have rededicated themselves to Sinai. Addi- tionally, we have received a groundswell of support from the Jewish community as well as our other consti- tuents throughout the area." Dr. Beckman said, "Probably one of the most gratifying things in my life was when the board, the administration, the doctors and the Jewish community came together out of crisis to form a new system." The coalition, which started when doctors feared they lacked needed support from the executive board of the hospital and the organized Jewish commun- ity, will be converted into the Friends of Sinai Hospital. It will be a support group, which ultimately could become a fund-raising mechanism. Dr. Beckman will co-chair Friends with Sinai Guild
