LICH Activists Lead Funeral March Across Brooklyn Bridge

Patients, caregivers, and elected leaders will march across the Brooklyn Bridge Wednesday afternoon wearing black and carrying coffins to illustrate the death of community hospitals.

Today, Wednesday, July 24 at 4pm the protesters will meet in Cadman Plaza and march across the Brooklyn Bridge to Foley Square, where a rally will commence at 5 pm.

The event is being held in response to recent attempts by SUNY Downstate officials to shut down Long Island College Hospital and other struggling medical centers.
