COMMUNITY IMPACT WHEN 2 HOSPITAL CLOSES IN PENNSYLVANIA
Hello Friends,
The closing of any hospital leaves a community without the needed resources they need for medical care. The upcoming closing of Jennersville Hospital and Brandywine Hospital impacts the workers and the community.
Never before have we ever needed hospitals to remain open than now. With the crisis of the Pandemic and so many people affected by it, we need to fight against hospitals closing.
It is expected that the Urgent Care Centers of the community take up the load, but will they be able to do so? Many patients will still need surgery, mental health care, and covid care.
Many of the patients will need to go quite a long distance to get to a hospital for care which could be a life or death matter. The loss of jobs can affect the community also in a great way. Being unemployed places more stress on families already struggling to survive. How will they pay rent and other expenses of living?
I wrote a letter to President Biden to see if he can do something to keep these hospitals open. There was a response of concern. So if you could write a letter to your Congressman, Governor, Representative, and to President Biden about this urgent matter. Hopefully, something can be done to keep these hospitals open.
