Mayor de Blasio is pushing SUNY to talk to other bidders amidst concerns that Brooklyn Health Partners will not be able to provide adequate care at the Long Island College Hospital site. 
ALBANY — Expressing concerns that Brooklyn Health Partners won’t be able to provide adequate care at the Long Island College Hospital site, Mayor de Blasio Wednesday called on the State University of New York to begin talks with other bidders.
De Blasio, who had previously raised concerns about the business’ ability to deliver what it promised in its winning bid, asked SUNY to move on to “preserve quality, uninterrupted health care services” when SUNY gives up control of LICH on May 22.
Brooklyn Health Partners earlier Wednesday dismissed talk of problems and said it expects the deal will be finalized within days. State officials say that’s unlikely.
