Long Beach hospital may be partially or completely razed due to Sandy damage

New owner will decide if any part of the hospital is salvageable and develop plans for opening a free-standing emergency department


Close to two years after superstorm Sandy closed Long Beach Medical Center, the facility may be partially or completely razed. The potential new owners are awaiting government confirmation that it will help pay for a free-standing emergency department, according to an article on the Newsday website.

In May, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge approved the sale of the financially strapped 162-bed Long Beach hospital to 435-bed South Nassau Communities Hospital. 

Before it can go forward with the bankruptcy, the Oceanside hospital said it must get a final letter of undertaking from the Federal Emergency Management Agency promising what it hopes will be more than $170 million, the article said.

Once it owns the property, South Nassau will decide if any part of the hospital is salvageable and develop plans for opening the free-standing emergency department.
