The two-year grant approved by Governor David A. Paterson would go towards helping the hospital set up a 24/7 center to handle former St. Vincent’s patients until a permanent location is found, according to the report. St. Vincent’s will close its emergency room at 8 a.m. on April 30.
Patients that require more complex care will be sent to Lenox Hill Hospital or North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, which runs several hospitals in Queens and Long Island, according to the report. Four additional clinics charged with handling displaced St. Vincent’s patients will receive a total of $4.6 million, according to Gov. Paterson.
