Nicer Names for a Kansas City Hospital

There was a recent memo sent out for community leaders regarding the terminology used to describe Truman Medical Center.

For those who don't know, TMC often hosts the uninsured and the slew of people shot over the average Kansas City summer weekend.

The place is commonly referred to as "the poor people's hospital." However, in a note to board members President/CEO John W. Bluford reminds everyone that "even poor people don’t like to go to a poor person’s hospital."

Here are the suggested terms offered by Mr. Bluford to describe TMC that might not offend patients (i.e. po'folk):

High-risk Patient Population

Diverse Patient Population

Special Needs Patients

Underinsured

Actually, I respect the effort to re-brand the place but this is a dumbass jokey blog and I have some suggestions of my own. Check it:

Heaven's waiting room for the broke

The "2 Many Tumors 2 pay" Happy Fun Place

Gunshot Alley

Discounts for "Dead on Arrival" Destination

The "Damn I wish I lived In Canada" Clinic

Yeah, I don't think my suggestions will improve anyone's self esteem but they might lighten the mood for patients. Feel free to add your monikers for this KC institution that does a lot of good as this nation preapres to choose be between two presidential candidates who don't have much to say about health care.
