BED SHIFT: NYU Langone is shuffling beds at its Brooklyn hospital. The health system submitted an application to relocate 20 beds from the main building of NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn to the Augustana Pavilion on the campus of its main hospital, according to a filing with the state Department of Health. The project entails decertifying ten beds at the Brooklyn hospital, the filing states. The move will enable the hospital to repurpose its third floor for general medical/surgical purposes and build out a coronary care unit on the fourth floor with larger, ADA-compliant rooms. The project will cost a total of $5.1 million, according to the filing.
ADDICTION TREATMENT: The state Office of Addiction Services and Supports will cut the ribbon on a new rehab center on Staten Island on Wednesday. The agency is opening a new state-run site, known as the South Beach Addiction Treatment Center, located at 777 Seaview Ave. on the campus of South Beach Psychiatric Center, a psychiatric hospital operated by the state Office of Mental Health.
