Coalition for New Village Hospital needs your support! post by Suzannah B. Troy

Dear Neighbor,

I wanted to give you an update on some of the work being done by The Coalition for a New Village Hospital since the exciting victory at Community Board 2 last month where the Board passed a resolution to lock the land.

First, please save the date and I hope you will join us on Monday August 16th at 10am for a press conference on recent developments in our effort to get a hospital back at the site of St. Vincent's. We will be sending more information shortly on location.

Finally, we will be sending a letter to Commissioner Daines signed by many community leaders and organizations calling on him to comply with Public Health Law and work to get a hospital back for our community.

We urge you to help us reach out to community organizations to sign this letter.  We will be sending it out early next week.  Please take a moment and contact any and all organizations such as tenant associations, block associations, political clubs, etc you are affiliated with to get them to sign on.  Also we encourage you to sign on personally.  To do so all you need to do is email us back or put in writing a request to be added to the letter.  I am attaching here a link to the letter for you to read and to pass on to others.

Thank you as always for your ongoing efforts and support and look forward to seeing you this Monday at 10am.

In solidarity,
Yetta
