/ News / Canarsie Funds funneled in to fill Victory hospital void
The state sent millions of dollars to local hospitals to cope with the closing of Victory Memorial Hospital.
The money will allow the hospitals to expand or improve their services and facilities, as their patient count is expected to increase due to Victory Memorial’s demise.
“In anticipation of increased volume at Maimonides, the medical center was awarded $11 million in HEAL NY funds from the state. The grant money will offset some of the costs associated with the renovation of the obstetrics post-partum unit and the upgrading of the coronary care unit,” explained Eileen Tynion, spokesperson for Maimonides Medical Center, located at 4802 Tenth Avenue.Health Quest
Lutheran, 150 55th Street, received $13,230,630.
The state funding will allow for an expansion of Lutheran’s intensive care unit (ICU). Ten new ICU beds will be created, bringing the hospital’s total to 32. This will allow patients to move more quickly from the emergency room to the ICU, thereby freeing up emergency room beds for incoming patients.Women Of Distinction
