CLOSURE AND EVICTIONS ARE SCHEDULED FOR MAY 19 2023. A CUT OF 120 BEDS REMAINS A CONDITION (per CMS) FOR ANY PLAN TO STAY OPEN.

What to do:

Sign This Petition: https://www.change.org/p/help-save-120-beds-at-laguna-honda-hospital-in-san-francisco

Save these dates to appear, testify and or (now)write in:

April 18 Tues.-4 pm: Meeting of the SF Health Commission which will include an update on April 11 LHH Joint Conference Committee Meeting. Agenda and supporting documents are here.

See instructions on how to testify in person, by phone and in writing here.

See examples of 150 word statements you can write or say here

It was announced on April 11, 2023 that on April 13, Laguna Honda chiefs will meet with state and federal regulators to discuss the LHH “revised closure plan,” which has not been accepted by these higher ups. We need an update on this!

We are getting uncomfortably close to the May 19 deadline for evictions and closure; this 3rd monthly meeting of the Health Commission will summarize progress so far at Laguna Honda.

Save the date and write your supervisor:

See more details at SF Gray Panthers main Laguna Honda page  about how you can let those in power at all levels of government know that LAGUNA HONDA HOSPITAL MUST STAY OPEN WITH ALL BEDS INTACT: NO CLOSURE AND NO EVICTIONS. Local services for those in need who cannot safely or appropriately live in a nursing home must ALSO be supported, or Laguna Honda will remain in jeopardy indefinitely!
 
Thankyou,
