For anyone who has utilized the services of San Bernardino County’s hospital and is not an Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) VIP, it comes as no surprise that ARMC’s billing system is a mess.  Those who handle the billing are spread throughout the medical center and no one talks to one another.  As a matter of fact, turf wars exist that sometimes result in billing being months, and yes, even years behind.  It is yet one more area of ARMC that its medical director, Dr. Dev Gnanadev, has micromanaged into disarray.

To Whom It May Concern,

Mr. Snell is not, and never has been, a part of the Hunter Campaign. He is not, and never has been, authorized to speak on behalf of the Hunter campaign or act on behalf of Hunter campaign.
