City Council members, led by Chair Mercedes Narcisse, rallied for increased public say in local hospital closures, highlighting the adverse effects on community healthcare.
Today we stand united, raising our voices against proposals that would rob neighborhoods of essential healthcare services, including the pending closure of Mount Sinai Beth Israel in Manhattan, said Narcisse at the rally.
Research shows that from 1997 to 2018, 40 hospitals closed in New York State, with 15 of those located in New York City, stressing the urgency of the matter.
The ongoing battle to prevent hospital closures reflects concerns over healthcare access and equity, particularly around the closures proposed for Mount Sinai Beth Israel and SUNY Downstate.
