Patients sitting in hallways, long wait times and the strain of the staff and space has LBJ Hospital the possible recipient of the bond that looks to revive and refresh the 34 yearfielded questions from the public in a community forum on Monday evening as they presented the latest details on their $2.5 billion bond proposal to build a new Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital. Patients often reported waiting in long lines for hours to get into the emergency room.
"It's packed in there. The emergency room line is out the door. There's people covered in blankets and stuff cause they've been sitting so long waiting. Some people sleep because they've been waiting so long," Bradford said. "It's like this every day, not just today. They need more space, more doctors, more everything here."President and CEO Dr. Esmaeil Porsa said the strain on space and staff has long been a critical problem for the hospital.
That's why Porsa said he presented a $2.5 billion bond proposal to Harris County Commissioners in June, $1.6 billion of which will go to building a new hospital on the LBJ campus. The other $400 million will be invested in increasing capacity at Ben Taub Hospital, and $500 million will be used for community clinics.
