Contacting San Francisco elected officials and attending the meetings and hearings listed elsewhere on this web site are crucial.
It is extremely important that you contact the Board of Supervisor’s, the Mayor, and the Health Commission quickly, expressing your concern about CMS’ decertification of Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, and the changing patient populations to be served at LHH. Please write and call your District Supervisor, demanding that they perform their ministerial duties to protect San Francisco’s vulnerable, frail elderly and disabled citizens.
San Francisco has lost hundred of Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) beds over the last two decades, and the now severe shortage of SNF beds in our City is resulting in hundreds of San Franciscans who need SNF level of care being dumped into out-of-county facilities. Ask our City officials to hold regular and recurring hearings on the potential closure of Laguna Honda, and what they are doing to increase the number of SNF beds in the City.
