San Leandro Outraged By Secret Sutter/County Deal To Close Hospital, California

Patients, nurses, and legislators reacted with disbelief and outrage to the announcement that Sutter Health will close San Leandro Hospital and transfer it to Alameda County. The announcement came the day after they were denied ownership of the facility. The Eden Township Healthcare District Board (ETHDB) voted Aug. 18 to deny Sutter's bid to purchase the hospital, which it currently manages.
