New York's last Catholic hospital struggles
NEW YORK (CNS) — St. Vincent’s Hospital, the last surviving Catholic general hospital in New York is enmeshed in a struggle to keep its doors open and fulfill its mandate to serve the sick poor.
Sister Jane Iannucelli, a Sister of Charity who is vice chairwoman of the medical centers, told Catholic News Service the hospital has been a leader in caring for the neediest and “people no one else wanted,” from 19th-century cholera victims to early AIDS sufferers who were “left on our loading dock.”
Sister Jane said the mission of the Sisters of Charity is to reveal God’s love as a share in the mission of Jesus. That is expressed at St. Vincent’s by caring for the sick poor and people with the greatest needs, she said.

It is always the ‘last one’ to work or to close that breaks my heart…the last Catholic School, the last Catholic Hospital, the last anything doing good… and then I think of the Banksters who award themselves $16,000,000 bonuses, in one fell swoop…and the Poor are still dying, and the hungry are still starving, and the homeless are searching…and George Bush, how do you live with yourself????? gh The word: Mortal Sin comes to mind for the Banksters. Grievious Injustice is always to me a Mortal Sin. Does anyone teach the Banksters anymore–or do they think they ‘know it all’???? When they [Wallstreeters] are sound and healthy they award themselves and enjoy multifigure accounts. When it comes to their health, illness, accident they want to choose the best medical center and would like to choose e.g. Catholic one, especially the one they caused to perish.2 Comments
Wall Street rewards ITSELF!!!
When it comes to money and benefits they forget which ER was closest to WTC on 09/11. When they seek quick emergency service they look for the best.
