Williams: Lock the doors and throw away the keys — LICH is a dead man walking
Long Island College Hospital won’t close right away, but it might as well. It’s a dead man walking.
SUNY Downstate Medical Center President John Williams told the Wall Street Journal that closing the Cobble Hill hospital could take as little a two weeks or as much as a few months, during which time the state Health Department will review the closure plan. The state agency rarely, however, reverses a hospital’s decision to close, the Journal reported.
LICH supporters tried on Friday to keep hope alive, but Williams tossed a very wet blanket.
