Trauma-center town hall

Please join us for Trauma-center town hall: What can be done to get a south side trauma center?

Saturday Oct 5, 12-2pm

University Church, 5655 S University Ave (on corner of 57th St and University Ave)

Invited Guests include:
- Dean Polonsky, Univ. of Chicago Hospital
- U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush
- Leaders of Chicago Trauma Centers and S. Side Hospitals

There are no trauma centers on the south side.

For three years youth and community leaders have been protesting and demanding a south side trauma center. This summer Congressman Bobby Rush introduced legislation for an addition $100M a year for trauma care. **FLY also created a video about the campaign this summer which will premier at the townhall** Also this summer the mighty Kenwood Oakland Community Organization officially joined the Trauma Center Campaign. As our coalition and allies continue to grow, Hospital Leaders and Elected Officials are starting to listen. We need to keep up the pressure and make our voices heard!

Join us and bring your questions and ideas directly to hospital leaders from the University of Chicago, South Side hospitals and elected officials.
