[Peace] 7pm Tuesday at CPL: the Future of the Champaign County Nursing Home (CCHCC)

[Stuart Levy]

I won't be able to attend this meeting tonight, though it's a very
important local issue.   Karen Medina won't either.    Hope some on this
list can go, and let us know if there are things that supporters of the
nursing home should be doing ...

One I expect they'll mention, for those of us in County Board districts
(including mine!) that voted clearly No on allowing sale of the home and
Yes on the property tax, will be to let our board members know that we
still don't want them to go ahead with privatization.    Any sale still
requires a 2/3rds vote of the whole county board.

>> Brief Background
>> The Champaign County Nursing Home (CCNH) has been facing financial struggles for a number of different reasons. As a result, the Champaign County Board placed two referenda regarding the CCNH on the ballot this past April 4. One question asked about a property tax levy to help support the CCNH. A majority of voters voted against raising the property tax levy for the CCNH. The other question asked about “sale or disposal” of the CCNH. A majority of voters voted yes to this question. And now the Champaign County Board is struggling with the future of the CCNH.

>> Champaign County Health Care Consumers (CCHCC) Position on the CCNH
>> CCHCC believes that we, as a community, should work to save the Champaign County Nursing Home. Selling this important public health care asset to a for-profit corporation would be a tremendous loss to our community, and there are many reasons to fear a decline in quality of care.
