SUNY ends negotiations with LICH hospital bidder BHP
Says will move on to Peebles
The State University of New York (SUNY) ended negotiations on Monday to sell Long Island College Hospital (LICH) to Brooklyn Health Partners Development Group (BHP).
SUNY spokesperson David Doyle said in a statement, “Following good faith negotiations over the last thirty days, The State University of New York is unable to execute a satisfactory contract agreement with Brooklyn Health Partners. SUNY remains unwavering in its commitment to protecting community health care services and a viable long-term solution for Long Island College Hospital.
“Therefore, SUNY is moving forward with the second-highest scoring proposal, consistent with the Request for Proposal and the court-ordered settlement.”
