of over a hundred fragile patients to Goldwater Hospital.

Earlier this evening, I received these photos taken at 4 PM today from Coler Hospital.

Outside the hospital: pumping out the water and the non-functioning generator

The place has not had power, heat or hot food since the storm Monday night.

The power is slowly coming on in one building in Coler with a generator. Tonight it will be 39 degrees on Roosevelt Island and there is still no heat or hot water.
