County ending hospital's long-term care services :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State

County ending hospital's long-term care services :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State

Cook County Board President, John Stroger, strikes again. This time he is ending long term care services at Oak Forest Hospital. Two hundred and twenty patients are being asked to find other sources for their long term care. The families of these patients are being told to explore their options available through social service programs.

The county has been cutting funding to all of their programs that assist citizens in County County, including resources used by social services. So.......how can these families ask social services for help if their resources are limited? Just wondering.
