Omg no! Close kings county instead... i walk because of the doctors at suny I had a tumor in my spine as a child which made one of my legs shorter than the other I was basically handicapped and even though the hospital did experiment on me it is because of them that I walk today. 2 of my kids were born there.. it would be a horrible for the community for this hospital to close
They are leaving Brooklyn with very few options fo medical care. How can one hospital absorb the care of an entire other hospital. The fact they are across the street from each other shows that there is a higher need for care and beds for that care needed in that geographical area.
It happened in Los Angeles. When the MLK hospital closed the nearest government hospitals are miles away. You have to drive for an hour on the fwy to get medical care. Many die because their trauma hospital are so far. Politicians don’t care if the poor die.
They are so full of it! They just added that new wing a couple of years ago. I guarantee that if they close that hospital you’ll be hearing an announcement shortly after that they’re going to use that land to build “much needed affordable housing”. Or what they consider is affordable. They already had this mapped out because they’re already tearing down the parking garage that is behind the hospital . Gee I wonder what they plan to build on that lot. If anyone goes around there, there is a private development that is massive that’s under construction up the block, a couple of blocks down by Kingsborough psychiatric center, they have plans to close that and put up new housing but they’re getting a fight from the community board because ✡️ are now buying property in the area and they don’t want the psychiatric center and they don’t want the housing. Bet money that they will scrap that plan and move it to where downstate now is. Gentrification is in full swing with a blessing from the city & the state. The old Kings County was in terrible shape, but they found money to rehab that but all of a sudden now it’s a problem to rehabilitate downstate. It’s a land grab. Stevie Wonder can see that. This is the ONLY State run-hospital in the city. Can you imagine how much money they will save if they can get it off their books?
Maybe they could consider getting rid of the union? Maybe they should consider scaling back their “Uncompensated Care” to include only Legitimate Residents & Citizens?
The bs is that the Governor has given State "public" land to the highest "kickbackers" in recent years, while at the same time building thousands of affordable units in this community. Central Brooklyn now has millions more residents and reduced pubic hospitals. The government has used taxpayers as pawns to enrich their family and friends at our expense. First it was Kings County, Kingsbrook Jewish, Kingsboro and now Downstate. If this community doesn't see a nasty trend let me enlighten you. You will notice several satellite urgent care and therapy clinics opening in Central Brooklyn. This represents the dismantling and privatizing of public hospitals. Take a wild guess as to who owns the vast majority of these private centers. Our electeds are impotent in these schemes because huge expenditures "billions of $" were encountered in expanding these same hospitals which the Governor now claims are in deficit. The bs is real y'all don't be gullible. These lands cannot be used for the public once they're lost to these greedy developers. Central Brooklyn used to be the bastion of stability for working families and is about to be gone forever. All the beautiful green spaces will be replaced by concrete, steel and noise. Outsiders are making plans to replace your standard of living. WAKEUP. The State and City jobs you once had will be replaced by Non Union Workers who become dispensable on a whim.
These things happen all the time with some of these white institutions. I've been seeing this dwindling debt an arbitration for so long and I've been noticing how these places get sold out by different corporations. It happens all the time in the hospital Institutional business.
That doesn't mean that residents of Central Brooklyn for more than fifty years should allow this travesty. Our electeds are complicit in these schemes to accommodate "settlers' at the expense of longtime residents. Another name is gentrification.
Wasn’t this building built in 2015? Or maybe it was renovated? I’m hearing some serious times of how long people have been working there and I could have sworn……
I’m from California and have watched small hospitals shut down, all over our state, because of illegal immigrants. They aren’t billed, they have no credit report to be afraid of. We have been dealing with this for 40+ years. We now have to send our citizens all over the state for care. My daughter-in-law had to be shipped, by ambulance, from Modesto to Oakland, lights and sirens for 81 miles. There must be 50 hospitals between these two points, but no specialist to deliver and care for my grandchild who would be born with intestinal issues. They are both safe…but it was traumatizing to their other children who didn’t see their mom and new sister for a month. My Mother-in-law, for 5 years before he death, was being shipped from San Luis Obispo County to Modesto, to San Francisco by Ambulance several times. My next door neighbor, over 80 years old, had to travel almost 100 miles for her back surgery, then endure the ride home. These instances are not people living in the middle of nowhere….there are Hospitals that used to have adequate staffing, but now they are low level care. You can try fighting this, it didn’t work for us.
Watching Dylan Dreyer and Ashley Graham on today show realizing people will not address the real reasons why for the patients...The duality and what has been hidden will crash hc for a bunch of patients as predicted...what a great way to medically control the population too when all the good doctors and nurses leave...I wish Dylans group on Today Show and Yahoo in NYC will cover the issues for all those Nyc patients...
And where is the Brooklyn borough president? He should be front and center trying to fix this. This is ridiculous.
Who pretty boy? He’s too busy getting ready to run for Mayor.

I agree! I wonder if there’s anything we can do as a people to stop this. I’m sure downstate will have protests really soon.
losing a hosital is the last thing nyc needs... especially with the migrant crisis
There is no crisis. NYC gets what the city voted for and will vote fo again in 2024.
I think Mt Sinai is also closing. This is 2nd one
@@JPAGH The city didn't vote for it.
We can’t lose another hospital

Very sad as they serve a lot of the sickle cell community in bk. What is going on?
Big Facts.....
If it were Park Slope do you think it would be an issue?
You can't be serious, patient to hospital ratio is very bad in NYC as it is already, closing another one will be detrimental to Brooklyn
What in the whole hell!
😒Me as I’m typing out my application for the absn program at SUNY DState
Look into the MS Phillips School of Nursing! Reach out if you have questions!
@@Lulu212 I’m applying there too! Thank you 🙏

Since they talk about health care...
Blame the migrants
Migrants are the backbone of the US doing all the dirty work "for little pay" that Americans don't want to do, so don't be so quick to criticize.
when hospitals pivot towards housing migrants... are they really that profitable??
I LOVE it when the Liberals try to FORCE companies to stay open. 🤣
SHUT IT DOWN. Thank you.
