Yahoo! News Piece

Check out this piece by Lila from Yahoo! News about the aftermath of 9/11 and the beginnings of StuyHealth.

NYSUT United Article Mentions StuyHealth!

"I don't blame the faculty for the decisions they made that day, but I do blame their bosses for returning us to Stuy only a few weeks later. This was a poor decision, and our bodies are paying the price. Twenty-somethings shouldn't have cancer and respiratory illnesses, yet those who were Stuy students on Sept. 11 are falling victim to these conditions.

Luckily, we've got advocates, particularly Lila Nordstrom, founder of StuyHealth. Unluckily, nobody seems to care."

Thanks Laurence for plugging StuyHealth in your piece! Much appreciated! Find the full article here.
