What a terrible waste of time and money. We as a people should not force an entity to keep a facility open that drains millions and millions of dollars from their coffers just so we can feel good about keeping nurses and others employed. We live in New York City and there are more hospitals in a 10 mile radius than most communities have in 50 or 100 miles. Absurd. This is not a socialist society. Bill DiBlasio should be ashamed. Hilarious that he hops on this to try and get votes.

Over at LICH, SUNY seems to be destroying evidence NOW!

Stunning. Does anyone remember developers and their enablers losing one? Our thanks to the community that stood up, to the nurses (individually as well as to their union), to the doctors, to Local 1199 and to Judges Baynes and Demarest.

Continuum has apparently decided that there’s nothing left to loot. Can we hope that a successful hospital (they exist) will decide to put it’s brand on it (e.g., North ShoreLIJ/Brooklyn, NYU/Brooklyn) and run a quality operation here?

Continuum, however, should be forced to repay monies meant for LICH they syphoned off to Beth Israel.

SUNY should be expected to Appeal. Their lawyers will want to get paid. Just the way it is.

Bye Bye SUNY. This just proves that if you believe in something you must speak out. Justice ruled today. Long Live LICH

This is an amazing and wonderful development. I’m struck by how Justice Demarest actually took the time to stand outside LICH and watch as ambulances were turned away from the hospital, which helped her form her opinion.

But we’re not out of the woods yet. A responsible operator has to be found. Or created. And I can’t help but wonder if SUNY lawyers will appeal the decision, with so much potential money at stake if they could somehow prevail and sell the land…

By the way, not to worry, Continuum has refused the offer.
