Yesterday, Dr. Hugh Gilgoff, Medical Director of Long Island College Hospital Pediatric Care Unit left a comment on a post I wrote about the potential closing of the hospital's pediatric unit. I am reprinting it here as a post because I feel very strongly that the community needs to support the dedicated medical staff that has served us so incredibly well. Please take a minute to follow the link below and voice your opposition to Continuum's ongoing dismantling of our local hospital.
From all of us at LICH - the nurses, the staff, and us doctors - we thank you for helping us in this fight. We have dedicated our lives to helping children and we need help in order to continue helping you and your family.
Please do whatever you can to help sway the state to stop this Manhattan group from taking away vital services to our wonderful Brooklyn community. See lichmedicalstaff.org for more ways to help.
Please also know that we have already begun planning on ways to continue providing the same top quality healthcare should the state fail to stop the closure of pediatrics.
Specifically, we will continue to operate as your pediatricians and healthcare providers here in the community - we will just find a new space! But the closure of the pediatric emergency room and the lack of space and support for our pediatric specialists will without a doubt create a void in our communities pediatric healthcare.Thank you for your support.
Dr. Hugh Gilgoff,
Medical Director, Pediatric Ambulatory Care.
