NYU Langone to take over LICH emergency department in Brooklyn on Friday
Comptroller and AG approval opens door to SUNY handoff
NYU Langone plans to take over the operation of the walk-in emergency department at Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in Brooklyn on Friday, Oct. 31, according to representatives of NYU and SUNY.
NYU says it will call the site “NYU Langone-Cobble Hill.”
While the hospital itself is shuttered, SUNY Downstate has been operating a small emergency clinic out of the former pediatric ER there.
NYU Langone has refurbished the space formerly occupied by LICH’s adult ER, but has not been permitted to take over its operations pending approvals from the state Comptroller and Attorney General for the overall sale of the hospital site to developer Fortis Property Group.
