Another reprieve for Interfaith Medical Center pushes potential closure date to September 11 or later
Short of someone buying the hospital, advocates of saving Interfaith Medical Center are buying time.
Today, August 26, was to be the postponed bankruptcy court hearing for Interfaith, but three days earlier, on Friday, August 23, the state Department of Health (DOH) requested a 30-day adjournment, according to Crain’s Health Pulse.
The request was made at 6 p.m. on a Friday and was approved “after 10 that night” on the condition that the DOH pay for the ensuing hospital upkeep over that period.
