Public Hospitals Matter, Herbert L Fred

The Texas Heart Institute Journal

Recent events in this country pose major concerns. Police shoot unarmed blacks, gun-wielding malcontents ambush policemen, white supremacists march, gays are murdered, gender inequality pervades our workforce, and sexual harassment and abuse are surfacing in many segments of our society.

To that list, I add another battle cry: Public Hospitals Matter.
