Laid-off employees say the White Rock Medical Center, formerly known as Doctors' Hospital, appeared to have significant financial issues

DALLAS — Multiple former employees at White Rock Medical Center raised concerns over staffing, financial and supply issues they said lead them to recommend patients avoid the East Dallas hospital.

Runnels said she faced restrictions on ordering pens and paper"because there was no money." She also claims the hospital was late paying her several times -- a claim a hospital spokesperson denies. In a note shared with hospital staff Tuesday and provided to WFAA by a spokesperson, hospital owner Heights Healthcare CEO Mirza Baig thanked remaining staff for their continued work during the layoffs.

"In the past I would've recommended it, but not now," said former manager of case management Laura Cooper of the hospital.
