On Tuesday, March 5, Pandion Healthcare: Education & Advocacy and HANYS brought 45 representatives from 12 hospitals in the Rochester/Finger Lakes area to Albany to fight against healthcare cuts in the state budget. If implemented, the Rochester area would lose $38.8 million over two years.
The hospital representatives met with 13 members of the NYS Senate and Assembly representing Rochester and the Finger Lakes. Afterwards, they joined hundreds of hospital representatives outside the Capitol for a rally, chanting, “Don’t Cut Healthcare!"
