Friends Of Medicare Hold Rally at Q-E-2 Hospital
June 9, 2011

Executive Director of Friends of Medicare David Eggen is looking for answers to why McKenzie Place at the Q-E-2 is closing down.

Eggen was part of a small rally outside of the hospital this afternoon.

He says he spoke with patients, their families, and workers at the public facility to find out more about the closure.

Eggen isn't a fan of the government's decision to close the facility and move the beds to the privately run Points West Care Centre.

Eggen will be part of the Join Together Alberta meeting tonight at the Quality Inn which aims to go over the McKenzie Place closure and what it may mean.

The meeting is set to start at 7 o'clock.
