UC Health is planning to close the Daniel Drake Center for Post-Acute Care on September 30, 2025

Patients, families, and our healthcare system will pay the price.

📣 We need your voice now. Send a message to UC Health President Robert Wiehe and Chief Human Resources Officer Margie Zyble demanding they keep this vital facility open.

The Daniel Drake Center is the only facility in the region offering long-term acute care for patients recovering from stroke, cancer, traumatic injury, and complex surgeries. Its closure will:

• Eliminate critical care options for medically fragile patients

• Undermine recovery and increase readmissions

• Displace expert nursing and rehabilitation staff

• Leave a gaping hole in the Tri-State healthcare safety net

UC Health’s claim that it’s “refocusing on in-demand services” is corporate-speak for cutting care to those who need it most—all while Medicaid is already under attack. Our community deserves better.
