We need to get our hospital for Long Beach, NY opened
Politics and prime real estate have kept our residents and visitors without Emergency and 24 hour care. We are a barrier island where the bridge and traffic delays cause deaths.
Why is this important?
I grew up in Long Beach and I know how the residents have suffered from Sandy. They have to be transported to another hospital via one old draw bridge that very often gets stuck or goes up due to boating. People die unnecessarily and we recently lost one of our own last week. A young husband and father of four. Politics and the fact that the hospital site overlooks our bay has made it prime real estate. It will be going to auction so I beg you, please help us.
