LICH RFP proposals are in! Nine teams submit bids to buy Long Island College Hospital
Four propose full-service hospitals, one would build small hospital space
The State University of New York has received nine responses to the Long Island College Hospital (LICH) Request for Proposals that “meet the minimum mandatory requirements,” SUNY spokesperson David Doyle announced late Friday night.
Four of the responses call for operating LICH as a full-service hospital. A fifth would build a 149,000 square foot “vanilla box” space capable of holding an ER, intensive care area and 100 beds and lease it at a low rate to a future hospital operator. The other four proposals would incorporate walk-in urgent care centers, stand-alone ERs and other medical facilites, but not full service hospitals.
