NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and SUNY Chairman Carl McCall announced a settlement Thursday on the future of Long Island College Hospital.

The agreement ends all pending and future litigation and allows SUNY to exit operations of the facility no later than May 2014 without interference, while providing an agreed upon process to deliver a viable long-term health care solution for the community.

Attorneys for the State University of New York, the state Department of Health and the local coalition fighting SUNY's attempts to close LICH made progress during negotiations overseen by state Supreme Court Justice Johnny Lee Baynes.

The negotiations have been aided by the continued involvement of Mayor Bill de Blasio.
