Manhattan —
St. Vincent’s Hospital, a Greenwich Village mainstay for 160 years, is coming off life support, unable to survive $700 million in debt. The hospital is phasing out operations, though Lenox Hill Hospital will at least temporarily run a so-called urgent care operation out of the storied Village medical center.
Meanwhile, some 3,500 St. Vincent’s employees are spending the hospital’s final days saying their final farewells – and looking for work.
