It’s the latest in a monthslong battle between hospital officials and those who want to see the more than century-old hospital remain open.
The New York state health department has given “conditional approval” to close Mount Sinai’s Beth Israel hospital in Downtown Manhattan, according to the department and Mount Sinai. But there’s still no closure date, and a lawsuit by community members seeking to keep the hospital open remains ongoing.
That would include requiring Mount Sinai to "appropriately staff" its Behavioral Health Center to ensure sufficient access for patients seeking psychiatric care at other nearby hospitals. Separately, the residents suing to keep the facility open obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent a closure while their case proceeded. That remains in effect for now.
Mount Sinai spokesperson Loren Riegelhaupt said by email that the health system hopes to have a "favorable resolution of this matter soon." For the time being, the hospital will continue to operate and accept patients, Riegelhaupt said.
