Throughout this pandemic, the City of Mount Vernon has been one of the hardest hit areas in Westchester County. If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is that our community desperately needs more access to emergency and intensive-care services, not less. I stand firmly with the New York StateNurses Association, advocates, and my colleagues in government in calling for the full reopening and revitalization of Mount Vernon Hospital. Now more than ever, we must invest in the resources and infrastructure our communities need to survive and prosper," said State Senator Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx/Westchester).
