At least 10 hospital executives from Nassau University Medical Center, including its CEO, have put in their resignations in response to what they called a “hostile takeover” by Gov. Kathy Hochul, according to sources in the hospital.
CEO Meg Ryan confirmed to The Post that she and other leaders in the hospital have resigned effective in July, so that they can help oversee the hospital board’s transition, she revealed.
“[New York State] has made it very clear that they do not want me to be in the CEO role,” Ryan told The Post about her decision to step down. “It was the hardest decision I had to make in my career.”

Hopefully they will testify at the FBI investigation of the dem politicians and their friends who took the BILLION dollars from the hospital. NY is a very, very, corrupt state. Please dem voters, look at what these people are doing. They are bankrupting you.

Without looking into the details it is difficult to see who is lying, who is responsible for losses and why Hochul thinks she knows best. All I know is that a mental health facility in New York is probably necessary.

The governor's office has repeatedly denied that they want to transform the hospital into a mental health facility. This is proof that it will be transformed.

New York State government is the most corrupt in the United States. Governor Hochul is a total horror show, but the electeds in the Legislature, both Assembly and Senate are not only corrupt, but the most uneducated, illiterate bunch NYS has ever elected. They make Hochul look like a scholar and competent. This is a one party state, run by a democrat party that is left of Maduro in Venezuela. NYS is spiraling out of control and given the absolute incompetence of the Republican leadership, there is no hope in sight. The republican chair, Ed Cox, Nixon son-in-law is a total joke as is the rest of the republican party. A once great state, a pivotal state for the country is imploding at an alarming rate.

Sorry guys but you're 5 years and $500 million dollars late. He who pays the tab chooses what's for dinner.

I recall watching the original Alice version from Walt Disney with my grandson...his favorite part was...when the queen of heart screamed...."off with their heads"....Kind of appropriate for this crew....WE don't need any adjustment time...just hit the door on your way out...and leave all the emails and paperwork where they are...A new group of conservatives will figure your department out quickly...and leave your gov Visa card on the desk....

I read this story and kind of felt the same way I did about all the federal workers who are losing their jobs. The sense of entitlement is really impressive! What makes the hospital leadership think they are any more entitled to run a government-funded entity than whoever the head of the government decides? A case of subordination me thinks.......

Hochul is showing us what real "Fascism" looks like. The Left now define the word to mean "conservative" but it actually means that people in government control of all businesses and institutions.

The article says that the hospital operated at a loss of $500 million over the past 5 years but fails to state why. Could it be that they were forced to treat illegals who don't pay and to treat Medicaid recipients whose reimbursements are artificially low? The Governor is just afraid to admit that it was Democrat policies that created those losses.

They don't know who will be on the board yet because the governor is still taking bids for the positions. Every person that gets on the board will have government connections. Btw, NY State government is an oxymoron. They don't govern! They buy votes and line their pockets. Just like Washington.

Gotta side with the Ceo and other resignees at this point... There is no one on the Planet with less integrity than Kathy Hochul!

With more and more people working from home these days, NYC is going to continue to lose taxpayers. White collar workers are increasingly able to work from home and avoid the hassle and danger in the city. "Escape from New York" indeed.

Bravissimo! Bravo! Doctors need to kick politicians and greedy insurance companies out of their trade so they can practice Medicine. 15 years invested into an art so so clueless money grabber gets you to go against sound practice to line their pockets. Death to the healthcare act resident Obama put in. Except mychart universal charting system, the only relevant , IMHO, part of that albatross.

Hochul could fix the budget hole by installing cameras on the road passing the hospital and charging motorists who drive by.
