Due to a combination of financial problems and lack of compromise between the state and Prince George's County governments, it looks as if the Prince George's Hospital Center in Cheverly may close.  The Post reports that "health officials have warned [this] would be a catastrophe to health care across the region as patients flood crowded emergency rooms at other facilities." 

Holy Cross Hospital is a very large facility that is known for treating lots of uninsured patients.  In addition to the obvious terrible impact on the area's over-stressed health care system, Georgia-FG and Holy Cross will be overflowing with new arrivals.

In addition, [Crossing Georgia Committee Chairman] Adam Pagnucco has been selected as the “Citizen of the Year” by the Mid-County Citizens Advisory Board. 

We would like to thank the Mid-County Citizens Advisory Board for recognizing us with this honor, but more importantly, for helping us throughout this entire process!

For anyone who wasn't convinced before, this is further proof that our elected representatives ARE listening!
