In a HEALTH CRISIS how long it takes to get to an emergency room is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH. We need a hospital with a trauma 1 emergency room to replace St Vincent's in Greenwich Village on the West Side of Manhattan. Now there is no hospital or authentic emergency room to treat over a million people who live/work on the West Side in a critical health crisis. Urgent Care, no matter how fancy, can NOT by law, treat critical health emergencies: HEART ATTACK, STROKE, child CHOKING, etc.

meet evette katz-stark, mom, realtor, activist for a New Village Hospital.
Evette Katz-Stark at age 53 was arrested in February along with three other HANDS OFF ST VINCENT'S activists for sitting in at the entrance to the shuttered St Vincent's to demand that the property be "land-locked" for a hospital use only. She spent 28 hours in jail before being released. It was the first time Evette had ever been arrested and the first time in jail. Here she is after six weeks later leaving the Courthouse after being acquitted of all charges if she behaves herself for the next 90 days.
Thank you Evette for standing up for people's lives in your neighborhood.
