- Description
- The Edgar P. Benjamin Healthcare Center is more than just a building; it is a beacon of light and hope in our community. Donated to us in 1927 by its namesake, this skilled nursing facility has served as the only black owned and operated nursing care facility in New England. Today, this historical institution faces closure which would displace 76 elderly and disabled residents who call it their home. This threat comes under the administration of Tony Francis whose salary exceeds $625,000 making him the highest paid administrator of any non-profit organization. We believe that such an excessive salary amidst claims of financial difficulties is unjustifiable. We are calling upon our local elected officials to take a stand with us against this travesty and remove both Mr Francis and the governing board from Benjamin Healthcare Center. We are aware currently your focus is on the immigrant crisis but our focus is the displacement of our residents, your constituents who voted for you and are in desperate need of your help to save their home. We need your help! | Case (SR) Type: [Elderly Concerns] Referred To: [ELDERLY AFFAIRS COMMISSION]
