Members of the Long Island and the New York State
Hospital Planning Councils and Bayview Community
Hospital officials met at a length y meeting at the
hospital Tuesday for discussions of a planned
ambulatory care facility and the future of in-patient
bed service at the hospital itself.
Tuesday 's discussions were held as a preliminary
step for a State Hospital Planning Council hearing on
September 18 when the app lication for the construction
of an ambulatory care facility at Bayview is to be
reviewed. A state official said following Tuesday 's
meeting that the Bayview Hospital file will be
reviewed prior to the September 18 meeting.
The main topic of discussion at the meeting was the
view expressed by the State Council , in granting
approval to continue the hospital operation last year ,
that: "The council does not visualize a replacement of
the existing facilities at the present location and hopes
that the services and facilities will ultimatel y develop
into ambulatory , extended and emergency care. "
Upon receipt of the local hospital 's application for
approval to build an ambulatory care facility , a state
official relayed word that the app lication was being
studied , and approval was to be tied in to the
scheduling out of in-patient bed service.
The recommendation that in-patient bed service be
phased out has met with strong opposition from those
who have worked long and hard lo keep the small
medical institution alive in the tight to transfer its
status from proprietary to community.
"I just cannot conceive of the operation of
ambulatory, extended and emergency care without an
in-patient hospital to tie into these services ," said one
Bayview official , speaking in a business sense.
It was pointed out to planning officials that Bayview
was not at the present time planning additional inpatient beds, but this consideration would have to be
examined in the future in order that the needs of the
surrounding communities might be served. The
