Brooklyn Hospital Bids on LICH

Latest bid would close LICH and create urgent care centers and residential units.

SUNY Downstate tabled a proposal to sell Long Island College Hospital less than one month ago, but now it appears another bid is in.

According to a report in Crain'sBrooklyn Hospital Center has drafted a plan with a private-equity firm and a developer that would close LICH and inpatient services at the site.

The main hospital site would become a "comprehensive care center" with ambulance service and a freestanding emergency department to treat non-critical acute illnesses or injuries.

Brooklyn Hospital would build and operate two clinics with primary and specialty care and two urgent care centers. 

LICH's real estate holdings would be sold with 1,000 mixed-income residential units in the plan.
