(Long Island, NY) The following statement was released this morning from Councilman Reggie Spinello in regards to the recent Glen Cove Hospital Changes:
“The North Shore LIJ Hospital system is an important component of our local economy. Any changes to their business model have an immediate and far reaching impact on our City’s already delicate internal structure.
“Business models are constantly changing to stay competitive and capture the market share needed to remain a profitable and viable entity.
“NSLIJ has been Glen Cove’s largest and most dependable employer for many years. The fact that they are confident the employees impacted by these changes will be absorbed into their system is comforting to me. However, the loss of business for our local merchants gives me cause for great concern.
“As an innovative leader in the patient care and treatment field, I would hope that they reconsider their plan and develop an alternative model that will better address the needs of our community while at the same time satisfy their new business strategy. NSLIJ is an honorable company that has served our City well. I look forward to speaking with the Hospital leadership and discussing the concerns of our community.”
Reginald Spinello, Glen Cove City Councilman
