Op-Ed | As hospitals close, New York must encourage investment in healthcare | amNewYork
Briefly

Lenox Hill Hospital highlights the essential role of healthcare workers in providing patient care, facing challenges due to resource limitations and funding cuts. As part of a significant renewal plan, Northwell Health emphasizes that the future of the hospital lies in investing in its staff amidst a backdrop of other hospitals closing down. The article stresses the importance of continuous investment in healthcare infrastructure to ensure the stability and sustainability of services provided to vulnerable patients, especially given impending federal funding cuts in Medicaid and Medicare.
Hospitals are not just buildings; they are the people who work inside. When hospitals scale back, it's the frontline workers who bear the burden first.
Lenox Hill Hospital's future depends on investing in its people to maintain the highest standard of care amidst challenges faced by many hospitals.
This debate is about more than Lenox Hill; it signals what we think about healthcare providers across New York. We must not make hospitals expendable.
Without substantial investment in healthcare infrastructure, we risk real consequences for both patients and providers, especially with imminent funding cuts looming.
