Four people were arrested while protesting at the University of Chicago Hospital today.
They were demonstrating over the lack of an adult trauma-care center in the neighborhood.
Demonstrators say the new $700 million dollar hospital ignores the needs of residents in the area, namely victims of gun violence.
The U of C Children’s Comer Hospital does have a trauma center but only takes children up to age 15.
One woman said her son, shot just blocks away from the university, died on the way to a hospital ten miles away.

Using spray paint is easy, as it allows for a quick application and a broad coverage area. Spray paint can be toxic, and can damage your flower if you don’t obtain the right kind. Look for a brand that is non-toxic, and is organic so that there won’t be interaction with the flower. A dead flower will quickly decay- backtracking your hard work! foakleys de gros
