Both of our main hospital buildings at Charity and University Hospitals are uninhabitable for health care purposes. We don't believe it will ever be inhabitable again. We are forced to leave those buildings and start with a new footprint. |

I am not cautiously optimistic at all. |
It's such a great area, in terms of accessibility, people know where it is, ambulances can get there, so we want to preserve that geography. |
Our heroic staff cannot keep going much longer. We can't get our people out fast enough. |
Our morgue at Big Charity is full and it is under water. |
Some of them are on the brink of unable to cope any longer. |
The hospitals that are operating are filled to the brim. The emergency departments are clogged up with long queues that see a growing patient population. |
The last information I have is that all of the buildings are empty. |
Today represents really an historic joining of two public health systems. |
We are going to get this project out on the street. |
We are highly skeptical that you can bring in 2006 systems and attach them to 1938 systems and make it all work, when so much has changed technologically. |
We don't have that luxury, if you will. |
We need funding to partially restore New Orleans. |
We would have to consider that. |
