Sharing Timely Info to Address Needs of CT's Sharon Hospital Maintaining Maternity Services

on Mon, 12/05/2022 - 04:50

The Following Is A Copy Verbatim of the Ways to Submit Personal Testimonies (can be both written and oral) on Dec. 5th and 6th, 2022. There is more coverage on 'both sides of the issue' in The Lakeville Journal of CT (with digital access via TriCornerNew.com) and many local NWCT libraries including North East in Millerton NY having a print copy of the paper. In the next post see a link to a video I made discussing a meeting that was held recently in favor of saving maternity and women's health services as an integral part of the hospital and not having emergency room doctors designated to handle those urgent needs that arise without proper staff and services onhand.

 

Dear Friends of Save Sharon Hospital,

 
Thank you for attending one of our recent community roundtable events. At our roundtable last week at Troutbeck, we promised to provide information on testifying at the public hearing regarding maternity at Sharon Hospital this coming Tuesday, December 6:
  • To provide written testimony: Email ohs@ct.gov by Monday, December 5 and reference Docket #22-32511-CON. The portal will also remain open for 7 days after the hearing, if you need to submit your written testimony after the hearing.
  • To provide oral testimony: Sign up on December 6 starting at 2pm via Zoom, with public commentary starting at 3pm, provided the technical portion (which begins at 9:30am) has ended.
  • o   Here is the Zoom login information: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82873390892?pwd=Q2lqYVNpdmxnN1FHY1VvbU5Yb0dNQT09

    o   Save Sharon Hospital is also hosting a live streaming session of the public hearing at the Sharon Town Hall on Dec 6 to watch the hearing together, and to allow those who wish to testify the opportunity to testify alongside others within our community. We hope that you will join us! To streamline the signup process, please consider signing up to testify from your personal Zoom account prior to joining us to testify.
