After LICH closure vote, hundreds pack Brooklyn Borough Hall for hearing, vow to fight on
After SUNY voted to close Long Island College Hospital (LICH), an overflow crowd packed Brooklyn Borough Hall’s courtroom for a hearing on the borough’s health care crisis.
An overflow crowd packed Brooklyn Borough Hall’s courtroom Friday morning for a hearing on the borough’s health care crisis, sponsored by the New York State Assembly’s committee on health.
The hearing began just moments after Assemblywoman Joan Millman (D – District 52) confirmed to the doctors and nurses rallying outside that SUNY’s board of trustees had voted that morning to close down Long Island College Hospital (LICH).
