Town Hall Meeting To Discuss SUNY Downstate Sustainability Plan

Invest in the future of Brooklyn's health care and make your opinions known.

The State University of New York will host a Town Hall Meeting to discuss the Sustainability Plan under development for SUNY Downstate Medical Center on Monday, May 20.

SUNY Downstate, which recently withdrew its plan to close Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill, is still in a state of financial duress. Officials say they will accept public commentary on their proposed sustainability plan from those who register in advance.

Anyone who wishes to speak is asked to sign up with the Registration Officer in advance by e-mailing hospitalsustainabilityplan@suny.edu with your speaker’s name, e-mail address, and phone number. 

The meeting will be held at SUNY Downstate Medical Center inside the Alumni Auditorium, located at 395 Lenox Road, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

A brief presentation from SUNY and Downstate officials will be followed by comments from elected officials and then residents. 

Can't make it? Written testimony may also be submitted to hospitalsustainabilityplan@suny.edu.
