Planned SUNY Downstate Closure Sparks Health Inequity Concerns
Briefly

The transformation plan for the hospital will see inpatient services moved to a new wing inside Kings County Hospital, which is directly across the street. Outpatient services will be moved to a new facility and will include urgent care, ambulatory surgery and primary care. The state has allotted $300 million in capital funds for the transformation project.
On Wednesday, SUNY said the process will begin with a needs assessment to better understand stakeholders' perspective on the current state of affairs at SUNY Downstate's health sciences university and teaching hospital, according to a press release. This will be followed by a visioning process to ensure that community-sourced ideas will help shape SUNY's plan going forward.
