Desperate for revenue, Valley Regional Medical Center CEO Art Garza is reportedly finding a silver lining in the Coronavirus pandemic.
He wants to make VRMC the epicenter for treating the disease. He has beds to fill and he is allegedly inviting all Valley hospitals to send their most stricken patients to Brownsville.
"Does this strategy help reduce or spread the pandemic?" questions a former Brownsville Herald editor.

"If Garza is going to pursue this course, he needs to explain not only to his own staff but to the people of Brownsville that he has the wherewithal, from face masks to ventilators, to meet this challenge.
"Some believe that his thinking is no different than Trump's gut feeling that economic considerations are more important than health concerns," continues the journalist. "He needs to call a press conference immediately and explain in detail the motivations behind his intentions if the rumor is true. Does he want to save other communities' lives at the expense of Brownsville lives."
The situation has become so critical at VRMC that doctors are reportedly signing a petition for Garza to rethink his position. While Garza hopes to be counting profits, the hospital's physicians fear they will be counting dead bodies instead.
