SUNY, LICH advocates reach historic hospital deal in Brooklyn
Officials applaud ‘sweeping’ agreement, but details not in
Attorneys for the State University of New York (SUNY) and advocates for Long Island College Hospital (LICH) announced on Thursday at state Supreme Court in Brooklyn that they had worked out a settlement so sweeping that history was being made.
After more than 30 hours of round-the-clock negotiations, lawyers for both sides declared before state Supreme Court Justice Johnny Lee Baynes, “We have a settlement!” but added that their clients had to formally vote to finalize the process before exact details could be publicly announced on Friday.
