OWL ALERT July 15: RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAIN FOR THE FRAIL ELDERLY AT LAGUNA HONDA

SITUATION: The situation at Laguna Honda Hospital remains dire. Recertification of Laguna Honda Hospital has not been completed. Over 500 frail, elderly and disabled people could be forcibly moved and scattered—with some possibly moved out of state—and cut off from any friends, family or familiar surroundings. 
 

Imagine yourself or a loved one
in that helpless and lonely predicament.

 

San Francisco could lose scores of skilled nursing beds, adding to the already frightening shortage of such caring places. Any one of us might need such a place because of injury, illness or age. We cannot lose any more.

ACTION Yes we’ve done this before, but let’s do it again and keep up the pressure to prevent older and disabled people from the disruption of being transferred out of a facility that has served them in the past.

Contact those below and say “Laguna Honda Hospital must be saved with all beds intact:

 

  • No closure.
  • No bed cuts.
  • No forced relocation of patients.
  • No funding loss. 
OWLs: Even if you have done this before, please do it again. Make them hear us! Hoot and holler!
