On May 15, 2021 the dialysis unit at the GV Sonny Montgomery Hospital, located at 1500 West Woodrow Wilson in Jackson, MS, closed their out-patient unit, where Air Force Veteran Clarence Hopkins had been receiving treatment 3 times a week for over ten years.
On Monday, he and a group of veterans and other supporters gathered outside the medical center in protest of the closure.
