MANHATTAN — St. Vincent’s Medical Centers, former operator of the defunct Greenwich Village hospital, is now selling its behavioral health center in Westchester.
St. Joseph’s Medical Center of Yonkers will buy the Harrison, N.Y.-based facility, which provides inpatient and outpatient mental health and chemical dependency services.
The agreement is contingent on approvals by the bankruptcy court and New York State Department of Health, as well as the state’s offices for mental health and alcohol and substance abuse services.
Those processes will likely be completed by the end of October, according to a spokesperson for St. Joseph's.
The bankruptcy court has already approved transfers of St. Vincent’s home health agency and visiting nurse service to North Shore University Hospital.
St. Vincent’s is also auctioning two nursing homes in Bensonhurst and Boerum Hill Brooklyn, which recently received a $47 million bid from nursing home operators Kenneth Rozenberg and Daryl Hagler, according to Crain’s New York Business. Bids are due by Sept. 14.
