Rivington House Memorial Garden
The garden plot on Forsyth and north Delancey in Sara Roosevelt Park shall henceforth be known to us as the Rivington House Memorial Garden.
In Memory of
Rivington House
1995 -2014
Nursing Center for those living with AIDS/HIV
This garden honors those lives
In perpetuity.
“To love. To be loved. To respect strength,
never power. To try and understand.
To never look away. And never, never,
to forget.”
– Arundhati Roy
Val Dickerson spoke and a plaque was unveiled to the memory of the residents and workers, the neighborhood, every ally, media, elected reps, and all organizations that stepped up to welcome and preserve this state-of-the-art HIV/AIDS nursing home facility.
We miss our former neighbors and are sorry we could not bring them back to their home and retain a nursing facility sorely needed in this community. This brings our efforts as Neighbors to Save Rivington House to a close. We thank all of those who helped in this fight to retain the building, the public’s building, as a health care facility, in perpetuity, as the deed promised.
The Sara Roosevelt Park Community Coalition welcomes Mount Sinai’s Behavioral Health Center as our new neighborhood partners.
