[edit] Advertising

Nom'd for db-spam & would require massive overhaul. But there was an uncommercial stub before Bonsecoursjoe's edits. Perhaps revert to that? Pishogue (talk) 03:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

This is not a form of advertising. This page depicts the services and a description of what each service entails in order to educate the community about medical services they can receive at St. Mary's Hospital. Again, this is in no way a means of advertisement. If someone is researching hospitals or service line information, then this article will provide the necessary information to better inform the public of Richmond, VA and surrounding commmunities. Prior to my edits, this page spoke mostly about parking issues and complaints - that was more of a blog than an article. Bonsecoursjoe (talk) 04:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I removed contact information and directions to the hospital. The content of the article contains only healthcare information only about St. Mary's and Bon Secours Health System. As mentioned before, it helps the community become better educated by not only what St. Mary's has but also a description of each medical service -- of which obviously would qualify for an encyclopedia material.

This is info on where people can find HEALTHCARE, if i were new to that area I might try to look on the internet to see what the different hospitals offerd, yes, even in an emergency.

Information like that shouldn't be added to any wikipedia article. See Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook. A^RendedWinter 16:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
