Howard University Medical School hopes amended hospital bill will help save program

Howard University's College of Medicine is hoping that an amendment introduced during a D.C. Council meeting Tuesday can help save their program from a deal that sought to exclude them from practicing at what would be the city's newest hospital. Back in August, the city entered an agreement with Universal Health Services, the company that operates George Washington University Hospital, to create a new hospital on the St. Elizabeths East Campus in Ward 8.
