Daily News | Immigration activists try to stop Allentown hospital from sending comatose woman out of the country
Armando Jimenez-Carbarin, a lead organizer for Make the Road Pennsylvania, speaks at a rally held Thursday outside of Lehigh Valley Health Network - Cedar Crest Hospital in Allentown, where immigration advocates sought to stop the "medical deportation" of a comatose woman to her Dominican Republic homeland. Demonstrators said the undocumented woman, known only as S.C.
The Health Network said it could not comment on the woman’s case because of privacy laws, but that it “works tirelessly with patients and their families to ensure they receive appropriate care.”This is at least the second time in three years that a Pennsylvania hospital has sought to carry out “Through this whole process, the doctors have been excellent in taking care of my wife,” her husband said. “However, the hospital administration has become hostile towards me and my family.”
That day, members of the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition, Make the Road Pennsylvania, CASA, and the Free Migration Project, demonstrated outside the hospital. The hospital gave the family an additional week to make its choice, advocates said. Those groups declared that by allowing the practice, the United States was violating its human-rights obligations under a variety of treaties.
