del.icio.usDoctors at Long Island College Hospital said the facility is faltering because its parent company is reportedly siphoning money to a Manhattan hospital also under its control.
This week, the doctors wrote to state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to stop the bleeding, according to the New York Daily News.
In 1998, LICH became part of Continuum Health Partners, which also owns Beth Israel Medical Center. Since then, doctors claim that Continuum has been too secretive about the 150-year-old hospital’s finances and will not reveal how $83 million of a bequest destined to LICH’s coffers has been spent. They also say hospital equipment needs to be replaced.
“There’s a feeling that our hospital, once regarded as the premiere facility in Brooklyn, has lost some of its luster,” Dr. Arnold Licht, president of LICH’s medical board, told the Daily News.
The hospital declined to comment for this story.
