Thank you.

One of the conditions that the State Department of Health articulated in their approval for Beth Israel's closure was that Mount Sinai needed to pay for an expansion of Bellevue's emergency in psychiatric department services, have Mount Sinai and H And H discuss the exact dollar amount that will be invested into Bellevue's expansion?
Laura Iavicoli
1:11:06
Yes.
1:11:06
There is a commitment made by Mount Sinai.
1:11:08
Should they close?
1:11:10
Payments would be made over time, that is a public document that has been provided to the elected officials.
Lynn Schulman
1:11:17
Do you know the funding source
Laura Iavicoli
1:11:19
for the I do not have specifics, but we can get you the document.
Darcy Dreyer
1:11:23
No worries.
Lynn Schulman
1:11:23
Yeah.
1:11:23
And in which fiscal year would we see the full impact?
1:11:26
Do you know that?
Laura Iavicoli
1:11:28
Again, it's in the document, and we will absolutely provide it to you to review.
Lynn Schulman
1:11:33
Do you have a sense of how Bellevue intends to allocate the money?
1:11:37
Would it be expansion of the ED or something else?
Laura Iavicoli
1:11:41
And, again, it is in that document.
1:11:43
It is very spelled out specifically in the document what the funding would be allocated for, and we are committed to enforce the commitment in the document.
