Last night the county legislature’s Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee passed a resolution asking St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital to reverse its decision on closing the Cornwall Emergency Department.
The resolution also asks the hospital trustees to find an alternate solution to the problem by working with elective officials and emergency responders from the communities affected by their decision.
The committee sent copies of the resolution to the hospital trustees and interim president, as well as Gov. Cuomo, Sen. Larkin, Assemblyman Skoufis, the state health commissioner, the state Department of Public Health, and the elected leaders of neighboring communities.
