Community leaders and healthcare advocates will address concerns over a proposed merger between two major New York City hospital systems, raising questions about potential impacts on patient care and local healthcare access. Testimonies will focus on how the consolidation could affect services, affordability, and the ability of both institutions to serve underserved populations.

The public hearing offers a platform for stakeholders to voice their perspectives before any final decisions are made.
