MOUNT VERNON, New York (WABC) -- A rally was held outside a hospital in New York Wednesday after its intensive care unit was shut down and nurses were laid off.
Nurses and elected officials rallied outside of Mount Vernon Hospital, protesting the closure of its intensive care unit and the laying off of 18 nurses during the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is a violent, and a racist action that cannot continue to stand," Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard said.
