Please download and print this two-page flyer, front to back on a single sheet of paper; then distribute it widely.  Make a goal of distributing the flyer to at least ten people that you know, particularly those who do not have Internet access.  Ask shopkeepers to post it (front and back) where their customers can read it.  Print copies of it, and pass them out at your church or synagogue, and other community meetings.

Remind people you give it to that it is not enough simply to read the flyer.  If they want to protect Laguna Honda's mission for San Francisco’s frail elderly, the community must exert sufficient pressure on our:

• Elected officials (including the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Newsom),
• The Director of the Department of Public Health,
• Administrators of Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center,
• The Laguna Honda Hospital Foundation (a new non-profit organization),
• The Health Commission,
• The Citizens General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee, and
• The Civil Grand Jury

to ensure that the replacement facility for LHH is built at the full 1,200 beds promised to voters.

This means it is not enough to simply read the information in the flyer and the accompanying Committee to Save LHH Fact Sheet; readers, and visitors to this site, must act on what is learned, by calling those listed, writing to these officials, and attending the meetings and hearings listed on the Calendar of Upcoming Hearings, too, in order present public testimony.

It is not enough to “read” the information here about the problems at LHH; people must act … and quickly!
