Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), expressed disappointment that there is no longer a viable partnership being considered between Mt. Sinai Medical Center and St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center. Since early this year, Congressman Nadler has been working alongside city and state elected officials, the hospital board and management, labor unions and other stakeholders to arrive at a solution that would preserve vital health care services at the St. Vincent’s Greenwich Village location.

“I am extremely disappointed that at this point, there does not seem to be a workable deal on the table for St. Vincent’s hospital. Over the coming days, the stakeholders—including the hospital board, management, lenders, labor unions and elected representatives—will continue to strategize next steps to try to save much-needed health care services for the West Side of Manhattan. As this process moves forward, I will continue to investigate all potential federal options for assistance, and I seriously hope that we can still find a solution that will retain an acute-care hospital facility for downtown Westsiders.”
