State Senator Brad Hoyman said: “Members of our community are understandably concerned by news accounts suggesting the potential loss of hospital services in connection with Mount Sinai Beth Israel. I'd urge the New York State Department of Health to clear the air by proactively reassuring the community that the level of care they are entitled to will be maintained. Working with my colleagues in government, I will continue to advocate for the highest quality healthcare services for those living and working in my district, and will keep constituents updated as I learn more.”
