The closing of LICH Hospital by SUNY Downstate after they bought it from Continuum (after they siold all the high value assets!) is really emblematic of a transformation in Brooklyn which is gonna majorly displace people in terms of both real estate and space as well as essential services. There needs to be a very different model for partnerships among the city, hospitals and health care providers with respect to the neighborhoods they operate in. Mondragon Spain would be a great model. There worker coop's and the local state operate the hospitals and the provide the insurance and healthcare. Better quality and more efficient/inclusive.
