The February meeting at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University focused on how to allocate over $750 million for improving the facility to address pressing healthcare needs. Attendees, including medical students, faculty, and community advocates, emphasized the urgent necessity for expanded services and resources, ensuring quality care for all individuals regardless of their background. Among the discussions were the need for better medical equipment and expanded hospital capacity to retain talent and serve the community effectively, particularly for pediatric care and autism resources, reflecting a collective commitment to healthcare equality.
âWe all deserve healthcare-no matter our social status. We matter. The community stands together, and this thought was repeated throughout the night and it is only right to include it here: this community stands ten toes down.â
âDoctors advocated for a larger hospital. One doctor stated that he is training some of the best doctors, yet when they graduate, there are not enough positions to keep them.â
