This is a discussion forum for Saint Alphonsus and its associates, members, communities and patients. While it is our intention to never ban individuals from our page, if content becomes abusive or inflammatory, we will remove that content and block the offending users so as to allow constructive and beneficial conversations. We hope you'll never have cause to complain about Saint Alphonsus and services from its ministries , but we are open to any and all feedback and will do our best to help you connect with the right people who can, if needed, correct any situations that require attention. Because of the need to protect the privacy of patient information, we will ask you to send us appropriate details in a private channel such as email. Please be aware that we cannot discuss personal, legal and private matters in a public channel. As a result, posts that mention litigation will be promptly removed. Please note that we do not allow "bumping" content--that is to say, posts that serve to repeat existing issues and bring them to the top of the wall. All posters participate at their own risk, taking personal responsibility for their comments, username and any information provided.
