Trustees of Maimonides Hospital sue to block NYC takeover of cash-strapped medical center
"I was born at Maimonides,"
"What they're doing is outrageous."
"They are destroying a hospital that has existed for many years."
Maimonides Hospital in south Brooklyn faces a proposed merger into the city's Health + Hospitals system that would convert the private facility into a city-run hospital. The merger includes a state grant of $2.2 billion over five years intended to stabilize the cash-strapped hospital. Trustees and many Borough Park residents, particularly within the Orthodox Jewish community, filed a lawsuit alleging the sale would violate the board's fiduciary duty and that other proposals were not seriously considered. The complaint cites consistently low rankings for H+H's Brooklyn hospitals and raises concerns about a potential decline in quality of care.
