Please Stand With Us Against Hospital Closures and Cuts

During the first quarter of 2020, we saw how a virus came into our neighborhoods and ravaged the vulnerable populations as well as the healthcare system. We watched as the novel virus magnified the disparities and inequalities in our healthcare system with bodies mounted in hospitals across Brooklyn and Queens and the Bronx mostly due to controllable circumstances.

Gov. Cuomo is, at this moment, attempting to quietly and quickly close a safety net hospital in Brooklyn in the middle of a pandemic - Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in East Flatbush. We are trying to shine some light to raise public awareness and scrutiny on this situation.

The first wave of the pandemic devastated Black Brooklyn, which was already suffering from massive racial healthcare inequalities. Currently, Brooklyn and Queens only have 1.8 hospital beds per 1,000 residents (compared to Manhattan’s over 5 beds per 1,000). In one of the richest cities in the world, the first wave of the pandemic completely overwhelmed the existing healthcare infrastructure in Central Brooklyn, which has long suffered from cruel healthcare budget cuts, largely implemented through cuts in Medicaid from the State.

The New York Times quoted Kingsbrook nurse Feyoneisha McGrath on her experience at the height of the first wave of the pandemic. Like other hospitals in Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens, she reported painfully dire patient to nurse ratios of 20 to 1 in the emergency room. “We could not care for the number of patients we had. I worked 16 hours a day, and then I got in my car and cried.”

By closing this hospital before the second wave of the pandemic, which has the possibility of being worse than the first, Cuomo is working to ensure that even more Black Brooklynites will die.

The governor has been attempting to cut healthcare for vulnerable New Yorkers in Central Brooklyn for years. Shortly after his election, he appointed the notorious hospital closer and investment banker Stephen Berger to head the “Brooklyn Working Group” of his “Medicaid Redesign Team” specifically to cut costs in healthcare and close hospitals in Brooklyn. To further figure out how to achieve this end, Cuomo set aside $700 Million in 2015 in the “Kings County Healthcare Facility Transformation Grant” for the purpose of supporting and accelerating “mergers, consolidations and corporate restructuring” of healthcare in Central Brooklyn. The goal was to cut state spending on healthcare and make the healthcare system more profitable and “financially sustainable”. As always, the way this is done is by cutting unprofitable services, such as healthcare services for New Yorkers who are uninsured and who are on Medicaid (a significant portion of Kingsbrook’s patient population).

Likely because this type of cruelty is not popular, Cuomo vetoed legislation calling for transparency and oversight over this capital grant. Meanwhile, he shopped around for a silent corporate partner in this project. He found it in Northwell Ventures, the “business advisory services” division of the corporate, anti-union healthcare behemoth that is Northwell Health. In 2017, Cuomo commissioned them to carry out a study and design a process. Per their recommendations, Cuomo created an entity, “One Brooklyn Health” to take control of and oversee the consolidation and downsizing of Kingsbrook, Interfaith and Brookdale hospitals.

To head the Board of Directors of One Brooklyn Health, Cuomo appointed billionaire real estate vulture Alexander Rovt, best known for profiles of his opulent, gold encrusted Upper East side $27 Million “man cave” mansion.

Closing Kingsbrook is first on the One Brooklyn Health chopping block. Like most hospital closures, there are attempts to dress it up. A study of hospital closures over several decades by the directors of the Health Reform Program at Boston University School of Public Health warned, “Promises of support for appropriate primary care, ambulatory care, and other vital services swirl around proposals to close hospitals. These promises are seldom redeemed.” According to the study, the most reliable indication of whether a hospital would be placed on a closure list was the location in a predominantly Black neighborhood.

Cuomo is arrogantly attempting to pass off this disproportionate service cut during a pandemic as an antipoverty initiative and affordable housing offering. While some politicians and others are echoing Cuomo’s claim that there will be affordable housing built on the Kingsbrook site, there are still no guarantees about the specifics.

We know how this goes. It would be incredibly naïve to think these promises will play out any differently here than at every other closed hospital in NYC and every other supposed “affordable housing” plan anywhere else in Brooklyn. How many years until this vital community hospital that provides critical healthcare and living wage union jobs in the community become a site of luxury condos?

This hospital closure and likely bogus affordable housing plan has not at all received the awareness and scrutiny it deserves. We fear that this is just another scam to underserve the underserved.

Maybe, in the past, we accepted things we shouldn’t have or didn’t take steps we should have to prevent this injustice. But the pandemic has given us clarity and urgency and the uprising for Black Lives has given us hope, inspiration and determination. We feel compelled to assert that we won’t accept racist business as usual when it comes to saving Black Lives.

Since 2000, 20 hospitals have been closed in New York. This is one of the reasons why COVID-19 overwhelmed us and killed so many. When will we draw a line in the sand and say, "No more?"

Billionaires in New York made $77.3 billion during the pandemic alone. The state budget shortfall for the year is only $13.3 Billion. With modest taxation, there are many ways to avoid killer cuts and closures, if the political will exists.

We know this is an uphill battle, but we feel an obligation to raise our voices and shine a light on this pressing issue to inform people about what is happening to their neighborhood and invite in some transparency, democracy and accountability. Even if we go down fighting, perhaps we can help expose this and prevent it from happening to Brookdale and Interfaith. Lives hang in the balance.

Please stand with us.
