This is bad news for Brooklyn neighborhoods where people depend on the public hospitals for health care and mental health services. Here's an excerpt from the article in the NY Times today:

New York City’s publi hospital system announced  Thursday that it
was cutting 400 jobs and closing some children’s mental-health
programs, pharmacies and community clinics that serve more than 11,000 patients.

Alan D. Aviles, president of the city’s Health and Hospitals Corporation, blamed reductions in state reimbursement, a sharp increase in uninsured patients and the rising cost of labor, drugs and medical supplies for the cuts.

He warned that he would probably announce further job and service cuts in a month or two. The hospitals face a looming $316 million budget shortfall for the coming fiscal
year, which begins in July, and the current plan would save $105
million.
