Jun Velasco,

Nancy Cornista Estrada and Dr. Fernando Estrada do not own a hospital in Pennsylvania. They used to have a Medical Surgery Clinic with other doctors, but they closed it down 3 years ago, because they cannot afford to pay their malpractice insurance.

Many doctors and surgeons in Pennsylvania left to work to another state, because they can not afford to pay high costs of malpractice insurance. Many hospitals are closing down. A lot of doctors are out of work and they retired early.

I think your friend Dr. Fernando Estrada is one of them, out of business and now he is working for a catholic hospital where he went to school for and his patient will pay him not the hospital.
