The New York State Department of Health has intervened to prevent Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital in Lower Manhattan from closing down services and the hospital. This action follows advocacy from local elected officials and a letter from the Department of Health ordering Mount Sinai Health System to 'cease and desist' closing beds and services at the hospital. The move is seen as a win for Lower Manhattan residents and ensures vital medical services remain available.
