Judge: Cobble Hill Hospital Will Stay Open

Good news for Brooklynites who live near Cobble Hill’s Long Island College Hospital: It will stay open — at least for now. SUNY officials will have to go back to the drawing board and start over if they want to shutter it. A judge put a stop to the impending closure on a technicality, finding that hospital executives had held an illegal closed-door meeting about the future of the facility.
