LICH and Interfaith supporters bring hospital fight to Cuomo’s NYC offices
Interfaith could close December 26
Asking “Where’s Cuomo?” hundreds of advocates of Brooklyn’s Interfaith Medical Center and Long Island College Hospital (LICH) brought the healthcare battle to Governor Cuomo’s front door in New York City late Thursday.
Supporters say that the closure of the two hospitals would be disastrous for Brooklyn.
The rally came just two days after the State University of New York’s (SUNY) board of trustees, in a surprise vote, tabled plans to turn LICH into condos and an urgent care center.
Jill Furillo, Executive Director of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), called on Governor Cuomo to “Do the right thing.”
