Mission Health System's spokesperson Janet Moore recently (September 2011) shared these thoughts on Mission Health System and the people of Western North Carolina at a national marketing convention in Phoenix, AZ. She called Mission a 500 pound Gorilla and later demeaned the people of WNC. Listen for yourselves...
WOW! How embarrassing our region was represented in this manner, parody or not. Good job "marketing" Western North Carolina to the rest of the world. It's unfortunate that Ms. Moore had so much fun MIMICKING Western North Carolina "assumptions." It's even more of a shame that she was fired from Mission for having the courage to call it what it is - a monopoly.

Ms. Moore's comments were taken out of context. She is actually MIMICKING assumptions that outsiders make about Western North Carolinians, and it is actually not Ms. Moore herself who is making the assumptions. Her comments are excerpted from a powerpoint that she delivered to a group of health care marketers, talking about how social media, such as facebook and youtube, can play such a powerful role in influencing public opinion.

I am very offended by this video. She represents Mission? They must have reached all time low to let her represent their hospital. I have worked at Mission as an RN for years and was raised in Haywood County so am I just a back woods hillbilly?

This is suppose to be a leader of Mission Hospitals insulting the people of WNC? They need to get rid of her!
