NYC Agrees to Fix Troubled Kings County Hospital Center
John Commins, for HealthLeaders Media, January 12, 2010
The consent agreement calls for regular site visits at KCHC over the next five years by outside experts to assess compliance. U.S. District Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto of New York was given oversight authority to monitor improvements at the hospital.
The agreement also resolves a suit filed in May 2007 by the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Mental Hygiene Legal Services that identified similar deficiencies in the hospital's psychiatric unit.
