Assemblymember Simon fought for hospital closure reform since 2015. The recent bill, inspired by the problematic closure of Long Island College Hospital, passed the Assembly with bipartisan support.
The Local Input in Community Healthcare (LICH) Act seeks to ensure public notice and engagement in hospital closures, particularly for critical care units, and enhance state review processes.
Assemblymember Simon, whose first bill was the LICH Act in 2015, strives to involve the community in healthcare decisions, addressing the disregard shown during the closure of Long Island College Hospital.
