Blade: UTMC supporters object to transfer of cancer center personnel, students to ProMedica

Former Toledo mayor and head of the Save UTMC coalition Carty Finkbeiner said he’s disappointed by the news of the transfers — particularly so soon after the cancer center and the Toledo Clinic recently finalized a partnership that was touted as a lifeline to ensure UTMC’s viability. 

He believes concerns voiced from the South Toledo community aren’t being listened to, adding he hopes Dr. Postel, who began his tenure this summer, will be more sympathetic, with meetings between the coalition and the interim president expected sometime in early to mid-September.

“I was asked to be patient while Dr. Postel focused on getting students on campus. I respect his request,” Mr. Finkbeiner said. “I hope Dr. Postel realizes how important it is to have the respect of the South Toledo community in place as well as the support from on campus.”
