Would be nice if some of the hospital could be re-opened if in fact portions of the building are still in good condition and can be used...BD

New Orleans activists on Monday called on Louisiana State University to reopen Charity Hospital, which closed after Hurricane Katrina, saying the city needs more health services available to uninsured residents, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. The activists, from several local civil advocacy groups, said that major parts of the hospital are in good condition and could be reopened. LSU, which ran the hospital, said it would be irresponsible to spend money to fix the outmoded facility, the Times-Picayune reports. The university plans to replace the facility with a new hospital in 2012.
