So, it is extremely important to me that the hospital provide direct benefits to the residents in the tenderloin like me. I also just want to really thank again the supervisors and cpmc for listening to the residents of the tenderloin particularly around traffic and pedestrian related issues. As you know, safe passage is a movement in the tenderloin thats included as part of the Development Agreement and, so, were really excited to partner with cpmc and the city to create a visually designated safety route for kid in the tenderloin. I also want to just ask the supervisors to continue to work with cpmc to provide a mechanism for Community Groups and Coalition Groups to monitor and enforce the agreement that weve come to and also just want to urge cpmc to finalize the contract with the nurses of cna. Thanks. Thank you. Let me call up a couple more names to hopefully line up. James tracy, lawrence chung, manny flores already spoke i think. Dr. Eugene [speaker not understood]. Jim lazarus,
St. Lukes hospital in the future. I applaud you for all the work youve done and thank you. Thanks. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is karen makely and ive been a pediatrician at st.

Just as so many of our patients are living day to day and check to check, working for a better tomorrow for their families, we have grown accustomed to an uncertain future. This agreement is a commitment to all. To the young
we are encouraged with the events that transpired with the increased size of st. luke s and decreased size of cathedral hill. this is possible with the collaboration of the california nurses association and community coalitions that worked tirelessly to get where we are today. however, until labor piece and the follow through of cpmc promises come into fruition, our struggle continues. as a member of the negotiating team of nurses, we are still in the process of finalizing a contract. the negotiating team and cpmc met once again yesterday and was hoping to be a final bargaining meeting. unfortunately cpmc s timeline and sense of urgency timeline differs from nurses and we concluded the day without a contract once more. we are close to reaching agreement and have come so far. the nurses are willing to have the necessary discussions to do what it takes until the agreement ha done, but we have not seen the same commitment from cpmc. honoring labor in san francisco means honoring
