Deal Calls for Hospital Bankruptcy, Takeover

NEW YORK CITY-North General Hospital in Harlem is being repurposed as a Federally Qualified Health Care site under an agreement between the city and state.

NEW YORK CITY-East Harlem’s North General Hospital will file for Chapter 11 and be repurposed as a Federally Qualified Health Care site under an agreement between the city and state. Announced Monday, the agreement comes a little more than two months after the bankruptcy filing of St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village.

By contrast to the St. Vincent’s filing, NGH’s reorganization will not result in hospital-controlled properties coming to market, at least not immediately. The Institute for Family Health, a community health center network based in Manhattan, will take over and expand the current NGH facility, with a “Super Urban” FQHC scheduled to open at the site next month. These services will be complemented by a newly constructed skilled nursing facility and a new long-term acute care facility to be operated by the NYC Health and Hospitals Corp. in what is now the main hospital building, according to a release.
