que st.ra contarnos sobre el increible trabajo que estan haciendo, aqui tenemos a mi amiga angelica vale. >> a pesar de todo el maravilloso trabajo que st. jude lleva acabo aqui en los estados unidos, un 70% de los niÑos alrededor del mundo todavia no tiene acceso a tratamietos medicos modernos. es ahi donde el programa de alcance internacional entra en juego. este singular programa le ofrece a sus clinicas afiliadas lo ultimo en entrenamiento medico, educacion y tecnologia para que puedan ayudar a salvar la vida de niÑos con cancer alrededor del mundo. los resultados hasta ahora han sido asombrosos ya que los indices de supervivencia para niÑos con cancer han aumentado drasticamente. en san salvador, por ejemplo, donde st. jude se ha asociado con el hospital benjamin bloom y con la fundacion "ayudame a vivir" los doctores de st. jude trabajan muy de cerca a los doctores locales para ayudarlos a salvar vidas inocentes. cada maÑana, la sala de espera del hospital se llena de niÑos enfermos, y

i find at st. anthony's provides nunnelee great food but offers hope and inspiration for the people of san francisco who are facing economic and personal difficulties. i am proud and honored to serve as the st. antony's spokesperson in the public phase of their capital campaign. let me throw out the first pitch to everyone in san francisco and say, let's be part of the miracle and build a new st. anthony's dining room for those that are so deserving. thank you to barry zito.

i worked at st. luke's for four years and i have never seen any psychiatric patients to be transferred to cpmc. they wait for a few days to be transferred to st. francis. even if 1% of psychiatric patients require psychiatric care, in reality, due to complex economical issues, homelessness, or financial insurance problems, many patients come to hospital with serious need of psychiatric care. i do not believe cpmc plans will help this major issue in san francisco. when japan was hit by an earthquake, many streets were blocked because houses collapsed. this caused serious traffic congestion in major arteries. my brother was stuck in the car for seven hours. cpmc can present all these transportation plans, but there is no guarantee that this will work. people still suffer from heart attack or stroke. post-disaster traffic jam would cause further problems. therefore, the centralized medical system is not required for disaster response. please don't know today. -- vote no today. thank you.

st. luke's. as a member of that community, i was fortunate to have access to health care in close proximity to where i live. i as well as many residents and patience, would be pleased to see this hospital get a much- needed to upgrade. campus neighborhoods surrounding will benefit from the new facilities. all the while, cpmc has promised to continue providing exceptional health care to all its patients. the construction of these projects are critical because they will benefit the work force, families, the local economy, and our future generations to come. voting yes assures people will have jobs and a safe place to go when they are in need of medical care. i thank you for your time and i ask that you please vote yes today. thank you. president fong: thank you. >> thank you, president long and commissioners, for the opportunity to speak with you again today. my name is michael and i am the executive director of compassionate care. we are a hospice that has been in said for cisco and has se

in addition, st. luke's will have to the centers of excellence, one in senior help, and the other in emergency help. the center of excellence in senior health will be able to hospitalize older adults to maintain the function and maximize independence at discharge. the final provision i would like to highlight relates to the new medical office building. the proposed development agreement requires cpmc to entitle a new office building as part of this process. if that does not happen, the city will have the right to lease the property for a nominal amount. in addition to providing a secure future for st. luke's, the proposed development agreement will continue to provide a baseline level of care for san francisco's most normal populations for the next 10 years. cpmc will continue to spend at least $86 million a year. there are three components that comprise this baseline level of care. the first is charity care, which is the provision of health care services to low-income people without the expectation o

on behalf of the st. luke's medical staff, i urge you to vote affirmatively for this project and move it forward. our patients and staff need it and deserve it. we think cpmc is the way to achieve it. thank you. >> any speakers from project sponsor? at this point we're going to take a short break and get into public comment, if that is ok with you. >> a brief question. for dr. kirsch, i was going through answers to questions about utilization at st. luke's, and it appears while there are occupants in skilled nursing, i guess your acute-care average has been 59 bids of the past 15 years. >> that is probably a reasonable estimate. >> we would hope as we rebuild we would be able to increase that if the need is there. >> again, we would like to see an increase. i believe the hospitals plan is for 80 beds. that is an increase. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> ok. any other questions?

st. luke's as chief of plastic surgery and hand surgery after 31 years on staff. st. luke is the only other hospital south of market, which often overruns, thank you, often runs over capacity and diverts patients to st. luke's. the argument that you cannot pull all of your police stations or fire departments north of market remains as valid now as it did when the blue ribbon panel concluded the need to rebuild st. luke's. the bay area is due for major earthquake. we must have redundancy of health care access points. please strike out the prerogative in determining the operating commitments based upon two consecutive years of less than 1% operating margin revenue. st. luke's provides emergency services for orthopedic injuries without the ability of a cast cart orcas technician to facilitate the care. this would easily -- this would be easy to remedy the administrators if the administrators have the will. if you break your arm and go to st. luke's, they can give you a splint, but no cast. w

st. many a night patrick's wife slept in a hard care or on a gurney appropriated on her behalf by the kindly nurses, there were many, nurses, not gurney's. she wanted to be available to her frightened an confused husband as he woke in the night. family members are a vital part of the care time. modern hospital provide comfortable spaces for them. we can't do that in our outdated buildings. we certainly could in new facilities. patients at the st. luke's and other campuses are hospitalized in vulnerable buildings when they themselves are at their most vulnerable. i would like to advocate for a city and its unemployed workers as well as for our patients, portions of the van ess corridor are moribund. the buildings would provide jobs and would serve to revitalize this area. for the sake of our patients, our workers and our city, please approve this plan, thank you. president fong: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is barbara savitz. i would like to leave you with this thought. comm

i am a staff nurse at cpmc st. luke's, working in conjunction with california nurses and good neighbor coalition. the proposed project for health care facilities in san francisco does not serve the long-range health care needs of our residents. instead, this project primarily, if not exclusively, serves the business interest of sutter. cathedral hill hospital, the iran project, the wrong size, the wrong place. the registered nurses of the california nurses association strongly urges this commission to assert its fall of 30 are this project to ensure it delivers on the promise of enhanced health care services of the city. so far, this is unfulfilled. cpmc sutter promises to keep st. luke's open for 20 years, it proposes a small hospital that is less financially and politically viable. it reneged on the same promise of 20 years in the case of a hospital that sutter is now closing. the pharmacist jobs -- it promises of jobs for san franciscans, but it does not guarantee any rn a job with the new hospital. with the tra

does the second move require moving st. luke's? chairman mcdonnell: no. the intent is to keep st. luke's in district nine. it has no -- nothing to do with st. luke's present site at all, period. >> i would actually be open to looking at it. chairman mcdonnell: thank you. mr. alonso? >> i second that thought, yes. chairman mcdonnell: ok. that's it. for both the reasons that mrs. melara indicated, which is we made decisions with forethought in mind and with all considerations and the unfortunate reality as we have discussed throughout almost every one of our meetings is that no matter what decision we make, someone will disagree, and they will present a compelling case for changing it. unless we want to meet past april 14, i would suggest that unless there is a compelling case, a new compelling case with new information, then i would not be in favor of making these changes, to shift decisions we just made. it would be different if we hadn't just made these decisions with full task force deliberation. on 6-3, we will not do that. ms. tidwell, let's go to the st. luke. >> i need an up

then what has happened is that st. luke's becomes a stepchild of the entire organization and is not an integral part of the health system cpmc within -- part of the health system within cpmc. it of -- it would be part of the total health system package and if you wanted to apply the 1%, and say they could start to close things at the cathedral hill campus incidents such -- shutting down st. luke's, that is my fundamental problem. without the development agreement, i cannot initiate. commissioner moore: a wide to take a second attack -- i wanted to take a second tack. the majority of points remained -- raised by commissioner borden and miguel i do not want to repeat. the implied commitment is like a one legged stool. why would you build an expensive facility with the 20 year commitment when cpmc promises to become a major comprehensive health care provider? that one which commissioner sugaya @ identified as a stepchild has a commitment of -- has identified as a chat -- as a step child has a commitment of 20 years. there

the potential for a larger st. luke's, increased charity care, an important part of this discussion. some of the things we will be looking at, we do agree with all the discussion around construction local hiring and asking our labor partners to stop them and help us get our folks to work. the non-construction conversation has taken a back seat. 40 is too low, we want to see that increase. we're also talking with our partners in labor on some exciting ideas and around the construction of local hiring program. we think it would be appropriate to have the community labor oversight committee for that construction local hire peace to help make this work. they have done that with some projects in chinatown, a south of market. these new construction jobs are going to start up quickly. they will have a positive impact on our blue-collar work force. we ask you to move the project forward. thank you. >> next speaker. >> thank you. i am the chief of staff -- we are a workers resource center service seized -- servicing low- in
