Health Care Workers Tell Bloomberg: We're Not Meeting Sandy Survivors' Health Needs
Members of the NYS Nurses Association, NY Physicians for a National Health Program, DC 37, Local 436 of the United Federation of Nurses & Epidemiologists, & other health care organizations, along with Occupy Wall Street demonstrated at City Hall protesting that thousands of New Yorkers who are homeless, or trapped in their homes without power, without elevator service, and heat and hot water are experiencing a health emergency. The healthcare responders recounted their experiences and articulated the medical services needed for the hurricane's victims in Staten Island, the Rockaways, Coney Island, and Red Hook. They also emphasized the need to expedite reopening of local clinics and Coney Island and Bellevue Hospitals to provide care for their communities.
