New York City is taking over Maimonides Hospital, the financially ailing medical system headquartered in Brooklyn, Mayor Eric Adams and hospital officials announced Monday. The merger with the city's public hospital system - Health+Hospitals - has the blessing of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who's willing to put up $2.2 billion over five years to preserve medical services in Borough Park and surrounding areas.

Trustees of the financiallys truggling Maimonides Hospital, located in heavily orthodox Jewish south Brooklyn, filed a lawsuit early this week to stop a government takeover of the 80-year-old medical facility. Maimonides' leadership plans to merge with the city's public hospital system - Health + Hospitals - converting the private, independent hospital into a city-run facility overseen by a board and president/CEO appointed by the mayor.
