Philadelphia
Health workers and community activists gathered in front of the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC) June 1 to protest the University of Pennsylvania’s sudden decision to stop accepting patients at their Wright 4 addiction center. The center has a good reputation as one of the few places in Philadelphia that provides compassionate care for medically complex patients of all genders who use drugs, with treatment that includes detox, 30-day rehabilitation and addiction medicine consult services.
