A hearing on the closing of the hospital, which serves a predominantly African-American and Caribbean section of Brooklyn, will be held Aug. 15 in United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of New York, according to the NYT.
If its closure is approved, inpatient admissions would end the day of the hearing. The emergency room would close Sept. 14, and inpatient services would end Sept. 15. Interfaith would close its outpatient programs a month later on Oct. 15, and rehabilitation programs would end Nov. 14, The New York Times reported.
