SUNY trustees will stage LICH public hearing on Thursday — then vote hospital’s fate Friday morning
Thursday is the last chance for Brooklyn to make its case for keeping Long Island College Hospital (LICH) open in Cobble Hill.
The Board of Trustees of the State University of New York (SUNY) will be holding a special hearing from 3 – 5 p.m. in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon, with a public comment period starting around 3:30 p.m. On Friday morning SUNY will announce its final decision. A press conference and community meeting will be held at Brooklyn Borough Hall Friday morning.
A NYS Comptroller audit revealed SUNY Downstate Medical Center’s takeover of LICH two years ago was a financial disaster for both institutions.
