LICH physicians lose appeal, vow to keep fighting for hospital in Brooklyn
SUNY's Carone: Doc group 'discredited'
The state Supreme Court’s Appellate Division in Brooklyn Heights on Friday dismissed the appeal of a doctors group seeking to block the sale of Long Island College Hospital (LICH) to a developer.
The Concerned Physicians of LICH had hoped to overturn the State University of New York’s (SUNY) decision to award the hospital property to Fortis Property Group. SUNY trustees voted to approve the sale to Fortis for $240 million in June 2014.
The Concerned Physicians are one of many local community and health care groups that fought for more than two years to save the historic Cobble Hill hospital, now shuttered.
