#PuertoRico #Vieques Cheered too soon. 9 years after #HurricaneMaria Susana Centeno Hospital opened - w/ a receptionist/security guard. No medical staff or medical equipment. Just a lovely Silver LEED building.

3308 days w/o medical care.

In my latest stack, I talk about the importance to time and how it shapes and structures our writing. Also, VIEQUES! We're almost full--tick tock, apply now!

#PuertoRico #Vieques Good news! 9 years & 2 weeks after #HurricaneMaria Susana Centeno Hospital is now open. Not full-service. No cancer or OB-Gen units or apparently regular surgery. But at least, finally, they've got ER, OP clinic, dialysis/infusion center, & behavioral health.

#PuertoRico #Vieques Good news! ~3300 days after #HurricaneMaria & Susana Centeno Hospital is now open. Not full-service. No cancer or OB-Gen units & I don't think regular surgery. But ER, OP clinic, dialysis/infusion center, & behavioral health. So at least basic care.

(It's LEED silver too.)

So,am here in #Vieques this week w/@internationalmedicalresponse & just learning from VERY UNHAPPY residents the hospital promised since Maria, and so eagerly anticipated,opened in a hushed ceremony with RFK Jr, Gov. Gonazles Colon and a few other just a few hours ago. Not open to all. Disgraceful.
