Neighbors,
As you are likely aware, the DC Council Committee on Health held a hearing earlier this month on the District government's role in the proposed closure of Providence Hospital. At the hearing, we heard many people testify on the negative impact the closure of Providence would have, but we did not hear from any representatives from Ascension Health, the St. Louis-based organization that owns Providence Hospital. However, we expect to hear from them soon.
The Committee on Health hearing will reconvene on November 2 and at that time we expect to hear from Ascension executives. The Committee on Health is also allowing anyone else _who did not testify at the other hearing_ to testify. The link to the hearing is here: http://dccouncil.us/event/health-public-oversight-hearing-3/ and more details on the hearing is copied below.
Regards,
Nolan
