LICH pictured here in 1858- can you believe it's been around so long?!
I got this very welcome email in my inbox this morning:
“We are very pleased that plans for the merger of Long Island College Hospital and SUNY Downstate can move forward now that the HEAL grants will be awarded as we planned. We thank the Governor and the NY State Department of Health for this decision. We are particularly grateful to Local 1199 and its president George Gresham, our staff, our community and our elected officials—Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez, NYC Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Borough President Marty Markowitz, State Senators Daniel Squadron and Velmanette Montgomery, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, and NYC Council Members Brad Lander and Steve Levin–whose steadfast support helped to bring this positive outcome.”
