The East Side hospital has been operating at 20% capacity and lost $1 billion in the last decade, a Mount Sinai spokesperson said.
-- Mount Sinai Hospital on Friday announced plans to close its Beth Israel facility amid financial struggles. "It's my hospital. It's my mother's hospital. It's the hospital he was born in. So, this is not a good feeling whatsoever," said Taruko Shaw, a patient at Mount Sinai Beth Israel.for decades were disappointed to hear about the process to gradually close it.
"This decision comes after recent financial changes, including significant increases in labor and supply costs, and years of decreasing inpatient census as care continues to move to outpatient and non-hospital settings," Mount Sinai Beth Israel said in a statement. "My daughter was born here ... they closed the maternity ward. A friend of mine had a heart attack, was brought here, and they closed the cardiac unit," said Epstein.
But some staff members told CBS New York they don't know what the plan is and it could mean their commutes get much longer.
