This is about Cushing Hospital. They tore down the barracks Type housing that was Cushing Hospital about five years ago. In its STEAD is a NEW ASSISTED LIVING QUARTERS. I drove through there and THEY have ALSO built many small houses in the back, where there use to be all the grassy grounds that went with CUSHING HOSPITAL.
