Local landscaper struggles to get paid $72k from hospital

Imagine providing months of hard work and not getting paidthis is the reality for many local vendors. Last November, a landscaper reached out to me for help after months of unpaid services. The invoice was a shocking $72,000, a sum that could easily put a small business at risk. I stepped in to see what I could do. Meanwhile, the dedicated employees of Glenwood Hospital have shown incredible resilience during these tough times. How would you handle a situation where your livelihood was on the line?
