Hundreds to be laid off at LICH, as final bidding round approaches deadline
Stuck it out through turbulent year
Hundreds of nurses, technicians and other staffers at Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in Cobble Hill received layoff notices this week, as the final round of bidding for the hospital is approaching a key deadline.
The layoffs, which affect up to 600 employees, will take place April 12, 30 days from the time employees received their notices, according to SUNY spokesperson David Doyle.
SUNY says the layoffs will align “staffing levels with patient volumes and currently available services, which will not change.”
