Ejemekwuru and many surrounding villages lack health care.
Despite a U.S. health care system in transition and often described as being broken, the majority of Americans can still access health care when needed. It is difficult for us to imagine what it might be like to live with no health care, no doctors, no hospitals and no medicine.

A hundred people crammed both rooms of Manjares Fine Pastries & Tapas Bar Thursday night. They weren’t there to order tapas. They came to support the launch of the mayoral campaign of East Rock Alderman Justin Elicker.
