When Franciscan Alliance closed its Hammond campus completely at the end of 2022, it left the city’s downtown without significant, easy access to a center handling acute health care needs.
Formerly known as St. Margaret’s, the hospital has been part of Hammond since 1898, only 14 years after the city itself became incorporated.There are still acute care hospitals in the communities surrounding Hammond, such as St. Catherine’s Hospital in East Chicago and Community Hospital in Munster.
“2022 ended up being the worst year for hospital finances since the beginning of the pandemic,” Erik Swanson, senior vice president of data and analytics at Kaufman Hall, a healthcare management and consulting firm, said in a video conference Wednesday. “It has a damaging effect on the residents of Hammond, but it also has a damaging effect on the residents of Munster and Highland and Dyer because it’s going to affect all the hospital care throughout the North Township,” Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott said.

How Managers Can Address Their Own Biases Around Mental HealthDiscrimination against employees because of their health — including mental health — is illegal. While HR can make sure the right supports are in place, managers should also make sure that stigma isn’t impacting their day-to-day decisions about their teams. For example, how can a manager prevent their personal views on mental health from biasing their task assignment or performance reviews of an employee who’s disclosed a mental health challenge? To reduce the impact of stigma after a mental health disclosure, managers should acknowledge their biases, lead with curiosity, solve collaboratively, and promote a supportive work culture.
