5/31/11 - The Hedz-Up Report covers Community Board 2's, St. Vincent's Omnibus Committee Meeting. In attendance are Northshore-LIJ Health System officials, including CEO Michael Dowling. In this clip, civil rights activist/lawyer, Yetta Kurland, leader of the Coalition for a New Village Hospital, takes NS-LIJ to task for its lack of transparency and misinformation campaigns.

More about CB2 from their website:

Community Board 2 is one of the first community boards to be established in the early 1960's. There are 12 Community Boards in Manhattan and 59 across New York City that are charged with representing community interest on crucial issues of development and planning, land use, zoning and City service delivery, such as sanitation and street maintenance, as well as coordination with social services and public education facilities.
