There was a press conference at Long Island College Hospital yesterday in which doctors and other suggested that its parent company is slowly squeezing the hospital to death, particularly be selling off valuable real estate in Cobble Hill. “The doctors contend that the parent company, Continuum Health Partners, has been downsizing the institution where they work, Long Island College Hospital, in the Cobble Hill neighborhood, and diverting resources to its more prestigious hospitals in Manhattan, primarily Beth Israel Medical Center. They estimated that the system had already sold off $50 million in property belonging to their hospital, and they filed formal complaints this year with the State Health Department and attorney general’s office seeking to terminate membership in the Continuum system.”–NYT
