BROOKLYN – Reports of job slashing and extensive consolidation at University Hospital of Brooklyn’s three campuses – the main University Hospital campus at SUNY Downstate, the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) campus and the former Victory Memorial campus in Bay Ridge – are premature, says Debra Carey, CEO of University Hospital.
Nevertheless, she said, the hospital system, like others, is having “financial challenges,” although she wouldn’t put a dollar value on it, saying this would be premature.
