THE HUMAN & CIVIL RIGHTS ASSOCIATION OF NEW
JERSEY is hosting a panel discussion of great
concern to the citizens of Plainfield and all citizens of
New Jersey. As you are aware, there have been
several hospital closings and more are planned. In-
addition to the hospital closings there are other
serious issues that need to be addressed. These
issues have also contributed to the closings of
hospitals. According to Mr. Kevin Slavin, President
and CEO of East Orange General Hospital, the State
is planning to cut funds that hospitals receive to care
for patients without health insurance by $143 million.
Additionally, planned cuts to Behavioral Health
programs are expected to exceed $6.4 million.
The public is invited to participate.
Testimonials from the presentations will be recorded.
The HCRA will develop a white paper document that
will be made available to the public via our website:
www.hcra.homestead.com. Printed copies will be
sent to the Governor’s office and state legislators.

LOCATION: PLAINFIELD LIBRARY ROOM
ADDRESS: 800 Park Avenue-PLAINFIELD, NJ (Bet.
