Dear Corey:
Please confirm that the audience at your Let’s Talk series will be able to directly ask questions. At the first Let's Talk your constituents were forced to write out questions and then have them filtered by your staff.
I sat with six seniors who I had alerted to this public meeting ...each of us wrote out questions none of them were addressed by the speakers.
Before the meeting closed I did stand up and ask of all the elected officials and/or their representatives just what procedures the State Department of Health had licensed the new Urgent Care center to be able to perform and what had to be referred to a real emergency room .
Can you please answer this question now? What has the State Department of Health licensed this "healthplex" to actually be able to do...and what procedures must be referred to real emergency rooms.
Seniors are concerned about life threatening health crisis and the ability of this new facility to help save lies in a life threatening health crisis,
I note that the signage at on the building says EMERGENCY. It is not a full service emergency room.
I also will advise you that none of the people who were active in the Coalition for a New Village hospital that I know were invited by Marilyn Darado ( Block association head hired to coordinate community tours of the facility have been in fact been invited. I do know that two different people reached out to Marilyn and were given the run around.
We hospital activists are very aware with the PR spin ability and astro-turffing machinations of the Ruden-LIJ team.
Can you help me and others hospital activists to be able to tour the building?
CB2 arranged a meeting with the LIJ team at PS 41, no community members showed up because none of us were told of the meeting. Shame on David Gruber.
Please confirm receipt to my RSVP for tonight at the New School 55 West 13th Street student center. Please answer my questions about tonight and the licensing of the hospital
Thank you and with respect
