GOUVERNEUR -- The Service Employees International Union 1099 says Gouverneur Hospital is on a list of 28 facilities in danger of closing due to cuts in the proposed Assembly and Senate budgets.

The spending blueprints slash Vital Access Provider funding, which gives state and matching federal aid to healthcare facilities with less than 15 days of cash onhand.

The hospitals also have no assets that could be monetized other than those vital to the operation and that they had exhausted all efforts to obtain resources from corporate parents and affiliated entities to sustain operations, the union said.

The Assembly budget reduces funding to the program by $80 million and the Senate budget eliminates it entirely, according to the SEIU.

The union says lawmakers need to add $290 million to the program to keep the hospitals open.

“Without full funding of the Vital Access Provider program, the 28 distressed hospitals will face imminent closure. Given how little cash on hand the hospitals have, the closings will be chaotic, sudden and dangerous, putting the health and lives of New Yorkers at risk,” the SEIU said in a prepared statement.

“Communities will be without vital emergency services for heart attacks, strokes, car accidents and other urgent crises. Patients with life-threatening illnesses will be left to find other providers in the middle of treatment.”
