Leominster seniors make calls for patient safety
Leominster Senior Center members and guests, frustrated that a House vote has yet to be taken on H.2059, recently flooded the Statehouse with calls urging passage on The Patient Safety Act. Their state Rep. Jennifer Flanagan (D-Leominster) has been and remains one of the strongest supporters of the bill. While Leominster seniors have consistently expressed gratitude for the hard work and advocacy of Flanagan, they hoped to stress the urgency of the bill’s passage with their phone calls to her. The seniors delivered the message loud and clear that they make up the largest patient population and suffer the most catastrophic illnesses in our hospitals and want assurances that they receive the safest care possible when they or their loved ones become patients. Under the leadership and guidance of Leominster Senior Center Director, Joan Fitzgerald, roughly 50 calls were made to Flanagan’s office.
