Sharon Hospital: Discussions & protests planned
SHARON — In addition to a meeting Nov. 5 in Sharon (see story, here), three other events are planned for discussion of Nuvance’s proposed cuts at Sharon Hospital.
Sharon Hospital will host two in-person roundtable discussions to provide an open forum for community members to ask questions and provide feedback.
Sessions will meet at the following locations and are limited to no more than 15 people, in compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols. Advance registration is required on a first come, first served basis. Masks are required and social distancing will be enforced.
Because of the limited capacity available, community members are respectfully requested to register for only one session.
Meeting dates are as follows:
• Tuesday, Nov. 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Sharon Town Hall.
• Thursday, Nov. 18, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville.
To register, email SharonHospital@NuvanceHealth.org or call 845-554-1734 with your name and phone number.
Community members are encouraged to go to www.nuvancehealth.org/sharonhospitaltransformation for the latest updates on the hospital’s transformational plan, including a recording of the Sept. 29 Community Update presentation.
To ask questions or schedule an additional small group conversation to discuss our plans, email SharonHospital@NuvanceHealth.org.
The town of Sharon will offer a Zoom link to the meeting at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8727483273; the meeting ID is 872 748 3273.
There will also be an event on the Green in Sharon by the grassroots group Save Sharon Hospital on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 3 p.m.
