Ambulances return to former LICH ER after 7-month diversion
EMS transporting to NYU Langone Cobble Hill
Non-critical ambulance service has resumed at the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) walk-in emergency department in Cobble Hill, now operated by NYU Langone.
“Basic Life Support” ambulances, which generally transport patients who do not require extra support or cardiac monitoring, are back after a seven-month diversion.
Since the hospital was closed by SUNY after a two year battle with the community, patient volume at the walk-in emergency department, operating out of the former ER, has been low.
