Cobble Hill Association seeks to answer: ‘What the heck is going on at LICH?’
Hands out awards to LICH supporters
Groups and individuals working to save Long Island College Hospital (LICH) from closure by SUNY Downstate were presented with awards and heartfelt applause at the Cobble Hill Association’s (CHA) Fall General Meeting, held at the Cobble Hill Health Center on Monday night.
Declared to be “Cobble Hill Heroes” were attorneys Jim Walden and Adam Cohen of the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Dr. Toomas Sorra and Dr. John Romanelli of the Concerned Physicians of LICH; and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA).
SUNY Downstate had refused to make meeting space available “to discuss the community’s urgent health needs,” pointed out Roy Sloane, CHA president. The crowd of 182 attendees overflowed into the hallways.
