HUGE WIN: The New York State Department of Health has rejected Maimonides Medical Center’s latest application for its proposed $2.2 billion takeover by NYC Health + Hospitals after determining that the hospital failed to submit a required Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA). The setback follows a major court ruling last month that overturned the state’s previous approval of the deal, finding that Maimonides and H+H could not bypass the full public review process required by law. Community groups, including Refuah Helpline and several Borough Park kehillos, challenged the takeover, arguing that it could impact healthcare access for the diverse communities served by Maimonides. The rejection is expected to delay the transaction for months and adds to a growing list of legal and regulatory hurdles facing the proposed takeover. 📰 JOIN A BORO PARK SCOOP GROUP: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FCnDYyy2XM2H7mjY34IjgM
