Tell Temple: "Northeastern Hospital Is Too Important to Close" -- Saturday at 5:30pm

Tomorrow the communities fighting to save Northeastern Hospital will converge on a Temple University fundraiser. Temple University Health System announced March 23rd that they will close Northeastern--a busy hospital that serves Port Richmond, Fishtown, Kensington, Juniata and Bridesburg--at the end of May. For months, State Senator Stack and Representative Taylor asked them to work with government for a solution; Temple adamantly declined. Tomorrow, we all have a chance to support this struggle for the health of our city.

When: Tomorrow -- Saturday, May 9 -- 5:30-7:30pm

Where: Union League, Broad and Sansom Sts.
