Brooklyn Fights for Its Life But Sees Death on the Way to the Hospital

Hello from CORD!
This urgent letter is from our friend Roy Sloane and the Cobble Hill Association:

"Hi all,

We need your help to help save LICH!

As you all all aware, SUNY Downstate is moving forward with it's plans to close LICH to convert it's real estate valued at $500 to $800 million into cash to prop up the immense loses at SUNY Downstate. Since the beginnIng of this crisis, I have asked every doctor, nurse, EMT, ambulance driver and paramedic this question: "Will people die?"

The answer from every single professional that I have asked is "Yes!" To dramatize this danger, the Cobble Hill Association has created a TV commercial called "LICH Two Minutes to Live" and will be launching our campaign on of thirty second spots on NEW YORK ONE this week.

This proposed closure of our hospital represents a grave danger for for all the nearly 1 million people who live, work, shop, and play in Downtown Brooklyn but most especially for the residents of the surrounding communities who depend on Long Island College Hospital for critical emergency care. Going further to get to another hospital spells disaster or death for many stroke, cardiac and accident victims.

To help us call attention to this danger, we are asking for your help in posting this spot on your blog or web site along with a call to action requesting that all citizens to call Governor Cuomo today at 518-474-8390 or to send an email to Cuomo at: www.governor.ny.gov/contact/Go
