BIRMINGHAM (AP) — Opponents of a decision to close the in-patient care unit at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital in Jefferson County hope a visit by the Rev. Al Sharpton will bring national attention to the issue.
Sharpton's visit to Birmingham on Friday will include attendance at a forum and rally against the hospital's closure.
The county commission voted last month to close the inpatient unit and emergency room at the county owned hospital.
Instead, the county wants to establish a new model featuring an urgent care facility and two clinics focused on preventive care.

Guess that tells us what kind of people use the hospital
Must be a welfare hospital , them folks can,t seem to understand Obamie is screwing them with his healthcare bull crap with all its hidden taxes and lies
Why didn't he come when Hartselle Hospital closed? I guess it was Bush's fault.
Another example of "Obama dont care" insurance!!!!
yep
Sharpton is a joke
