Next to my old doctor's office is a small hospital that was built recently but then has been closed down for several years. It's just sitting there at 4888 N Stone Ave, Tucson, AZ 85704.

I wish I had the resources to re-open it. I would hire the local fired nurses and medical workers, plus local doctors that prescribe Ivermectin. I don't know if anyone's tried to just open a common sense medical center. Why not?

Maybe email Dr. Cory and the FLCCC as well. A closed hospital could be very valuable. Hospitals are very expensive to start because they have so many requirements, even for air handling and such. But one that is already built could avoid a lot of that, especially if it could be acquired inexpensively - maybe there's even some old equipment in there.

There have been efforts to provide alternative care (like the AFLDS) but it's primarily telehealth and physician only. The other problem with hospitals is that most must take Medicare/Medicaid money to survive. That means, the feds get to make the rules. I have a couple of ideas about that. One is to take a hospital and split it into two adjoining facilities, perhaps with a set of doors in between. The larger facility would be a traditional hospital, accepting Medicare/Medicaid and so on. the smaller facility would be private pay or at least private insurance. It would leverage (e.g. rent) some of the equipment from the larger facility, enabling it to keep costs down. It could also perhaps be subsidized by the state (at least it's better than the feds). This would allow there to at least be a facility that could treat people by respecting their rights to participate/influence/reject treatments. It would take some remodeling work and maybe some state cooperation to make it happen, but a small available hospital would be a good start.

State medical boards threaten to take dr.s licenses.

I used to drive by there all the time, never knew it was a hospital. Do you know what years it was open?

I moved from Tucson to Chicago in Aug 2020, I miss it every day.

Not sure - it was the "Tucson Heart Hospital" supposed to concentrate on Heart problems. They didn't have enough market for that a few years ago, I guess. You went out of the frying pan into the bonfire!

There is a group of frontline doctors and nurses trying to start micro hospitals. Pray it happens!

I emailed the address to America's FrontLine Doctors, thanks. It just kills me to drive by a modern, empty hospital while the regular ones are collapsing in chaos and death.
