A Viable Alternative For ECC: Sheehan Hospital
This letter was sent to Council Member Pridgen today with our stamp of approval for his newest proposed alternative to bring ECC's proposed medical building downtown. Sheehan Hospital is vacant, ready and next door to the existing City Campus and its size, existing use and location to the BNMC make this a very viable alternative. One hopes Jack Quinn and the ECC Board of Trustees will seriously review this as an alternative.

To
the Hon. Council Member Pridgen,
Young
Citizens for ECC (YC4ECC) is writing in full support for your most recent proposed
alternative for Erie Community College
which appeared in the Buffalo News on Friday, January 4th, 2013. The
proposal suggested utilizing the currently vacant Sheehan Hospital for all of
the medical degree related needs for ECC students including classroom space,
labs and more.
YC4ECC
feels strongly that investing in the downtown campus will lead to a stronger,
more accessible community college for all students across WNY. This investment
will continue to make Erie County attract talent and its accessible campus will
provide a strong workforce for years to come. A partnership between the Buffalo
Niagara Medical Campus and Erie Community College is desperately needed and
wanted by the student body and this proposal is the chance to create it. As the
medical campus continues to grow, the need for doctors, technicians and other medical
related jobs will grow and thus, ECC can be a connector between the students
and the job growth. This proposal for the Sheehan Hospital will allow ECC to be
the important connector needed to provide our students with access to jobs,
networking events, internships and other medical related opportunities.
Lastly,
we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for continuing to push ECC
with alternative options for the proposed new building. You continue to provide
strong leadership for the Queen City. Young Citizens for ECC is ready to offer
any assistance needed to help lead the charge in pushing for this viable alternative.
Sincerely,
Bernice
Radle
Co-Chair
of Young Citizens for ECC
