Glen Cove amputee asks Nassau County for help in response to potential Medicaid cuts

In 2022, Glen Cove native Carlos Vasquez was hit by an SUV while working as a crossing guard outside Deasy School. He was brought to the hospital in critical condition and was released months later.

Vasquez suffered a traumatic brain injury, went into cardiac arrest twice, and was intubated during his approximate four-month hospital stay.
