Members of the Capital Area Legislative Delegation will join several community groups at a press conference Wednesday at the State Capitol to discuss the pending closure of Baton Rouge General Medical Center’s Mid City emergency room.
The Campaign for Healthcare for Everyone Louisiana, a grassroots organization, is spearheading the press conference. Though organizers aren’t prepared yet to say what exactly they’ll be asking for, Rep. Pat Smith, D-Baton Rouge, says the group will propose specific solutions.
“We are going to talk about what we think the state needs to be doing,” Smith says. “This is not just to vent. This is to talk about things that need to be done.”
