Before the Statehouse event, Gov. Maura Healey announced she would pause plans to close Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital and Pocasset Mental Health Center. The post Pause is ‘not good enough’: Health facility workers, patients, and advocates rally to oppose closures appeared first on Boston.com.
Health facility workers, patients, and advocates organized a rally to oppose Maura Healey's proposed budget cuts, which would close Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital and Pocasset Mental Health Center and eliminate case management positions. Despite Healey's announcement to pause the closures for review, protesters emphasized that the pause is insufficient and demanded the full reversal of the cuts to ensure continued vital services.
