Interfaith receives another reprieve as supporters seek restructuring plan
Due back in Bankruptcy Court on Nov. 13
Interfaith Medical Center in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn received a short reprieve on Monday as Chief Bankruptcy Judge Carla E. Craig adjourned bankruptcy proceedings until November 13.
Interfaith, serving 175,000 residents of Central Brooklyn, was forced to file for bankruptcy last December after the state rejected its proposed restructuring plan.
“Today we received a one week extension in court proceedings. We’ll be back here November 13,” said Eliza Carboni, Associate Director of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA). “It’s clear that a plan to save Interfaith is on the table. There just needs to be more time to develop the plan” and work out the funding, she said.
