Another rally is being held tonight by New Yorkers who want to keep Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital open. The 155-year-old Cobble Hill hospital recently stopped accepting patients by ambulance and has moved to clear out its intensive care unit. The hospital is owned by the State University of New York, and officials are reviewing options for the cash-strapped institution.
Today, mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio called on SUNY to release details of seven proposals to redevelop LICH. He wants Governor Cuomo to personally intervene to prevent its closure. He also blasted the Governor for calling his arrest yesterday a political stunt. The Public Advocate was one of 15 people charged with disorderly conduct after delivering 7,000 petitions to SUNY to keep the teaching hospital open.
Should Long Island College Hospital remain open to patients in Brooklyn? How have hospital closures in your borough affected you or your neighbors? Have your elected officials done enough to keep these institutions open while they struggle financially?
