Buses to roll in Brooklyn for Tuesday’s LICH hearing in Purchase
Long Island College Hospital (LICH) supporters are renting buses to travel to Purchase, New York on Tuesday, to speak out against the controversial closure of the Cobble Hill hospital at the SUNY board’s hastily thrown-together re-vote.
“SUNY wouldn’t give us a place on the agenda to make our voices heard before their vote on LICH tomorrow,” Eliza Bates, NYS Nurses Association told the Brooklyn Eagle. “So we’re holding our own speakout before the vote. We’ll be there in full force even though they’re holding the vote in Purchase.”
The buses are leaving at 8 a.m., Bates said. People can sign up by emailing [email protected]
