RALLY TO BRING BACK ST VINCENTS 4/30

If you are as horrified as I was by the closing of St. Vincent's hospital, there's a rally tomorrow to re-open the hospital. Click the link for more info and please spread the word. I can't tell you how heart-breaking it was to attend a meeting of mainly seniors, some in wheelchairs with tubes in their noses, who don't want to die in a cab in NYC traffic en route to a hospital in a far away neighborhood.

Coalition for a New Village Hospital

Our community's movement to demand a full service, community hospital for the lower west side of Manhattan

The Westside Healthcare Coalition is a Lie

Lower West Side residents have been receiving some interesting astroturf in their mailboxes lately. It's from a group called The "Westside Healthcare Coalition". Trouble is, they don't exist. They're just a front for the real estate developers that want to build luxury condos where we need a hospital.

Don't fall for it.
