Re:  Certificate of Need (CON)  Project # 111531
This final public hearing by New York State Department of Health is held specifically to   receive comments from  the community about the NorthShoreLIJ/LenoxHill proposal (CON) to  substitute  a "free-standing emergency room" as the replacement for  St. Vincents Medical and Trauma I Center at the site of the former O'Toole Clinic Building on the westside of 7th Ave and 12th. Street.**

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT OUR COMMUNITY'S VOICE BE HEARD HERE!

To register, call Colleen Frost at (518) 402-0964  or e-mail PHHPC@health.state.ny.us and give reference CON Project # 111531

 

 If you intend to speak, bring a copy of your statement to leave at the hearing.
Also, it would be helpful to let us know if you plan to come and have registered others, too. 

COME EARLY - THIS PROJECT IS CLOSE TO TOP OF AGENDA

Speak or submit statements about why a drive by Emergency Room Without a Hospital  leaves the West Side of Manhattan without a hospital from Battery Park to Columbus Circle putting every resident, employee and visitor at risk in the case of a medical emergency.  )

**The Rudin group plans to demolish the former St. Vincent's east side campus on 7th Avenue and 12th Street to build 450 luxury condos (without affordable housing mix!).

Questions: Please call 212-924-5258 or 917-301-1158

Remember:  Your attendance bears witness to our need for a hospital/trauma One center and you are representing those many who cannot be present at the meeting.
