We will rally at the site of St. Vincent’s on Sunday October 17th at 2pm to demand the full restoration of services taken away when St. Vincent’s was wrongfully closed in April.
Here are some recent articles that have exposed the serious life and death situation our community is in and the fact that these problems aren’t decreasing, but increasing.
The Chief of Emergency Care at Bellvue, the closest trauma one hospital, calls the closing of St. Vincent’s a “significant disaster”. Please spread the word and forward the videos below as well to as many as you can, post them on your facebook if you have one and forward them by email. We must get a large turn out on October 17th to let our public officials know we will not stop until we have a hospital back.
