A system spokesperson confirmed to Becker’s both that the vigil would be held and that it is linked to the reported ouster.

The ouster came as the board voted 10-4 with three abstentions not to renew Ms. Brown’s contract amid accusations of financial mismanagement, according to a Sept. 21 Brooklyn Daily Eagle report.

Members of healthcare workers union SEIU said they were troubled that the community had no say over the issue, criticizing the “behind closed doors” decision.

Becker’s has reached out further to One Brooklyn Health for more information.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
