To the editor: UTMC needs helping hand

Note: this letter was published in the April 24, 2020 edition of the Toledo Blade.

As a south end resident, I had considered the Medical College of Ohio to be a very good neighbor.

When I was a member of the Celiac Support Group, our group met at the medical school, sometimes in classrooms, later in the cafeteria.

When our families needed emergency attention, MCO was where we went. The YMCA operated out of MCO and hosted numerous exercise classes.

It was a sad day to see this fraternity dissolve.

When Southwyck closed, the medical college invited seniors to walk the track at the Morris Center.

I did this for years until I was “uninvited.”

Our old neighbor needs attention. It needs a governance who is committed to her.

Please, let’s all see that she gets it.
