Lawmakers Seek To Block Seton Medical Center Closure In Daly City
With the spread of coronavirus, they argue that now is not the time to close a hospital.
DALY CITY (CBS SF) — A group of state legislators on Thursday called on Verity Health Systems to reverse its decision to close Seton Medical Center in Daly City, arguing that the closure will make it harder for nearby residents to get to a hospital and affect the ability to treat coronavirus cases.
State Sens. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, and Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Assemblymembers Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, and Kevin Mullin, D-San Mateo, released a joint statement about the hospital’s possible closure, which could come as soon as next week.
