On March 25, Marc Greenberg was quoted in a MedPage Today article, “Hospital Slammed for Not Telling Families About Patients’ Deaths.” The article explores allegations that Mercy San Juan Medical Center transported deceased patients to off-site storage facilities without providing timely and required notice to their next of kin.
