"Sends them away"? No, the program in question tries to get patients to other medical care that is better suited to their needs. Emergency rooms are expensive to both the hospital and the patient and they are geared toward treating..wait for it...emergencies. With declining numbers of people having decent health insurance, more and more people have turned to emergency rooms as primary health care avenues, which is not what they are set up to be. The program she helped but together established a system of referrals to get people into community health clinics so they could get actual primary care. In no way did the emergency room shove off people experiencing emergencies. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous and crass, not to mention just plain wrong.
