Description

Press release from the City of Long Beach: November 23, 2021 Earlier this morning, Mount Sinai South Nassau notified the City that the Long Beach Emergency Room will be temporarily closing effective 3:00pm today due to staff shortages associated with the State's vaccine mandate. This closure could last up to a month. This is completely unacceptable, especially as we move into the holiday season. The administration is working with all parties to come up with a solution that results in the Emergency Room remaining open. In the interim, the administration, our Police, and Fire Departments will do all they can to ensure our residents remain safe and can be efficiently transported to medical care should the need arise.
