Judge Approves $7.5 Million to Keep Interfaith Medical Center Open Until Mid-February
By: Jeanine Ramirez
After a court hearing Monday, Brooklyn’s Interfaith Medical Center has the funding to stay open until the middle of next month. Jeanine Raimirez filed the following report.
Interfaith Medical Center got a reprieve Monday after a bankruptcy court judge approved $7.5 million to keep the hospital open. That money will only fund Interfaith until February 14, but staff members say it's still good news.
"It's kicking the can down the road but it's happy. Each day that we come out of court and we have more time, it is essential,” said Interfaith employee Michaelle Ned.
"It's good news today. The judge gave us more hope, you know to stay open so that they can work out all the logistics to keep the hospital open,” said Interfaith employee Ari Moma.
