On Thursday, the Downstate Community Advisory Board proposed a $1 billion plan to modernize SUNY Downstate Medical Center, aiming to preserve all inpatient and outpatient services amidst community concerns over previous state consolidation efforts. The recommendations include converting double occupancy rooms to private ones, expanding the emergency department, and renovating specialty units for better healthcare delivery. The proposal emphasizes addressing infrastructural issues and improving leadership for operational sustainability, reflecting community input as essential to shaping this vision for the hospital's future.
This plan represents an extraordinary investment in SUNY Downstate's hospital and a bright future for our patients, our students, and our faculty and staff.
This plan was shaped by the voices of those who know and rely on Downstate - community members, faculty and staff - and their input was critical to getting this right.
