Suit Seeks to Halt County Clinic Closures
From Staff and Wire Reports
Advocates sued Tuesday to halt the planned closure of two Alameda County health clinics that serve 25,000 low-income and disabled patients.
The suit seeks an injunction to stop the closures of the Central Health Center in Oakland and the outpatient clinic at Fairmont Hospital in San Leandro. A hearing is scheduled for June 26.
The Alameda County Medical Center board decided in April to close two of its six outpatient clinics by June 30 to fill a $12-million budget gap.
