DESCRIPTION:Tell the SF Supervisors: NO on CPMC’s Rebuild Plan!\nSupervisors Hearing 
 on Healthcare Effects of Rebuild\nMonday, June 25, 1-4 PM\nSupervisors 
 Chambers, SF City Hall\n(Polk St. betw. Grove & McAllister, Civic Center 
 BART)\n\nOne of a series of Supervisor hearings on the anticipated effects 
 of CPMC’s Rebuild Plans. This hearing focuses on the effects of CPMC’s 
 Rebuild plan on healthcare in the City, and should focus on (1) assuring 
 that St. Luke’s Hospital remains viable in the long term,  (2) assuring 
 that SF has enough Skilled Nursing Facility beds for patients with serious 
 but not hospital-level conditions, especially Medi-Cal patients, and (3) 
 assuring that SF has enough psych beds. All of these are threatened by the 
 CPMC Rebuild Plan.\n\nBackground: California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) 
 plans to consolidate its SF facilities into a mega-hospital at Van Ness and 
 Geary. Community, labor, and patient advocates have serious concerns about 
 (1) long-term viability of St. Luke’s Hospital for medically-underserved, 
 poor, and largely minority South-East San Francisco, (2) availability of 
 care for low-income uninsured and Medi-Cal recipients, (3) gentrification 
 and loss of affordable housing, particularly in the adjoining Tenderloin, 
 (4) rights of CPMC workers in closed units to transfer to the new Hospital, 
 (5) rights of RNs to remain in their union, (6) loss of long-term and 
 psychiatric care, (7) lack of assurance that CPMC will hire local people, 
 (8) increased healthcare costs as CPMC gains monopoly, (9) increased 
 traffic and disruption in an already-congested area, and (10) quality of 
 life and environmental concerns.\n\nOpposition groups, including the Good 
 Neighbor Coalition, Jobs with Justice, the Calif. Nurses Association, and 
 the Coalition for Health Planning demand a Community Benefits Agreement, a 
 legally binding agreement between CPMC and affected unions and community 
 groups, that would address the these issues.\n
