Revised Proposal for LICH unveiled amid dire warnings
With a backdrop of threats to SUNY institutions and dire predictions, a revised proposal to purchase Long Island College Hospital (LICH) that now includes two well-respected health institutions was displayed at a SUNY Board of Trustees meeting on Monday.
The original proposal, submitted by Fortis Property Group, would have leased the hospital’s main building to ProHealth for a “medical mall” and developed the other LICH buildings as condos.
In the revised proposal, Fortis would partner with NYU Langone Medical Center and Brooklyn’s own Lutheran Medical Center.
