Urgent Meeting Tonight Hospital West Village

URGENT MEETINGS  REGARDING THE ST. VINCENT’S SITE BEGIN TONIGHT!   Plans for the St. Vincent’s site are all over the Community Board 2 September agenda! This is for everyone who is upset over the Rudin proposal for the St. Vincent's Hospital campus and worried about what’s ahead if we don't restore a hospital to our community.  WE NEED A FULL-SERVICE HOSPITAL WITH A LEVEL ONE TRAUMA CENTER. Instead, the Rudin Corporation and North Shore-LIJ are offering 450 luxury condos and a drive-in emergency room with no hospital attached. Leaving the West Side of Manhattan without a hospital from Battery Park to Columbus Circle puts every resident, employee and visitor at risk in the case of a medical emergency. Please come to as many of these meetings as you can. Make your voice heard!
