More news on the Brooklyn hospital front:

SUNY Downstate is asking Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Carolyn Demarest for another week to reopen the Intensive Care Unit, restore full operation of the Emergency Department and restore ambulance service to Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in Cobble Hill. Seems like they have to make sure there are enough doctors on hand. More here.

And Interfaith Medical Center in Bed-Stuy, slated to begin shutting down on Monday, has received a reprieve until at least September 11, following a legal action by Public Advocate Bill de Blasio last week in Federal Bankruptcy Court. More here.
