Health Justice Coalition urges DC residents to testify at Council Health Committee hearing

After the DC City Council cut over half of United Medical Center’s funding, members of the DC Health Justice Coalition organized and won $22 million temporarily, “but we need to win more,” says DCNA’s Wala Blegay. The Coalition is urging DC residents to testify for more funding for the only hospital East of the River at the October 25 DC City Council Committee on Health Hearing; click here to sign up by October 23. “We must get additional funding or the amount drops back to $15 million next year, meaning more cuts to services and jobs,” says Blegay. “We need high-quality, full-service care in Wards 7 & 8 now and into the future.” Text "TESTIFY" to 202-495-0885 for more info.
