Following the lead of local residents’ efforts, city and state officials have pledged their support – albeit through various capacities – to help restore the aging Dolly Vinsant Memorial Hospital.
Namely, Mayor Joe H. Hernandez and State Representative Eddie Lucio III said on Friday that they’d be willing to lend their assistance to the cause.
It won’t be easy, many have speculated, as the hospital requires at least $6 to $7 million to restore, at least according to Lionel Betancourt, founder of the Save Dolly group.

Demolish the building. I think investors would be more interested in a vancant lot Sad to say the land is the only valuble part if the whole site. If citizens want to preserve Dolly Vinsint they should have to place a plaque in her honor at the Verterns Memoral site.
