Eugene secures $4.9 million for Kings County Hospital
Councilmember Mathieu Eugene, the City Council’s only physician, has done something to improve the health of Kings County Hospital, but he didn’t need a stethoscope to do it.
Eugene (D-Kensington-Prospect Lefferts Gardens) recently secured additional city funding for the hospital and presented hospital officials with a $4.9 million check.
“All New Yorkers deserve quality care and I’m pleased to be your advocate for health,” Eugene said in a statement. “It is our moral obligation to make sure that our men, women, children and senior citizens receive the care they are entitled to, and I will continue to support important health initiatives.”
