Transplant Patients are Dying; Activists and Families Blame Northwestern Memorial Hospital

Chicago, IL. Patients needing transplants who have been denied care by Northwestern Memorial Hospital are dying, according to their doctors' updates today. Sarai Rodriguez (currently at John H Stroger Hospital) is one of the fourteen patients whose loved ones participated in a Hunger Strike for Health Care. Area hospitals have begun a dialogue with the hunger strikers as they have done during las year's hunger strike. "Last year they made promises, and then continued to turn people away -- because of this, Sarai Rodriguez is dying" stated Father Landaverde, one of the organizers of the Hunger Strike for Health Care. "We hold Northwestern Memorial Hospital directly responsible for killing her" he added. Hunger strikers will be available to give updates on the situation of patients and on the current negotiations underway with different area hospitals.
