S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5906 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E June 21, 2013 ___________ Introduced by Sens. MONTGOMERY, PARKER -- read twice and ordered print- ed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend part Q of chapter 56 of the laws of 2013 amending the education law and other laws relating to funding to SUNY Downstate Medical Center, in relation to a sustainability plan for a hospital THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that a strong academic medical center which controls its own and its affiliated clinical facilities is the central organizing princi- ple of urban health care in America in 2013. SUNY Downstate Medical Center must fully maintain its public status and be the lead institution in meeting the significant unmet health care needs in Brooklyn including providing expanded primary and ambulatory care in the neighborhoods that need it the most. All other states' experience, as well as the last seven years of experience in Brooklyn, indicates that if SUNY Downstate does not take leadership of this mission it will not get done. Over the next three years, SUNY Downstate Hospital should develop up to four decentralized, freestanding primary and ambulatory care satel- lites. Funding for these satellites is anticipated from monetizing the net asset value of real estate acquired with the Long Island College Hospital while still operating Long Island College Hospital as a health care facility. Two thirds of the net asset value of the Long Island College Hospital real estate will be devoted to subsidy of SUNY Down- state Hospital and Long Island College Hospitals' operations during a three year transition and development period. The implementation of this legislation will make SUNY Downstate Hospi- tal sustainable and recue the state subsidy to its historic level. Its implementation is an alternative to closing LICH and laying off a mini- mum of 600 health care workers in Brooklyn which has one of the highest unemployment rates in New York. It makes no sense to lay off health care EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD11556-01-3
