[quote=Anonymous]Sidwell is wealthy, and supposedly "Because Friends believe that faith requires action in the world, the schools emphasize the development of a caring community, peaceful resolution of conflict, and service to others, especially those less fortunate. Friends have a long tradition of putting love into action." So yes, they could take their wealth and put love into action. That's the point of the article, that Sidwell espouses greater responsibility than the average commercial actor.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about if Sidwell ensures that each of the current patients receives comparable care in DC at what they currently pay? For a start.

They might also take steps to ensure that the services that WH was providing, and gave every intention of continuing to provide until they got a huge monetary offer, continue to be provided in the DC area.

But at a minimum the supposed Quakers with their commitment to social justice should take care of the people they would otherwise put on the street.[/quote]

So you're saying that in addition to the $34 M purchase payment, Sidwell shoukd pay to operate a hospice and nursing facility indefinitely into the future?  That's insane.[/quote][/quote]
