The Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century released its recommendations for hospital and
nursing home restructuring and closures on November 28, 2006. The
Commission, also known as the Berger Commission, was established as part of the
2005–06 New York State Budget and was charged with making
recommendations on hospital and nursing home restructuring. The enabling
legislation sets forth specific factors to be considered by the Commission,
including the need for inpatient and nursing home services in a community, the
impact of potential closures on the health care services and economy in that
area, the costs associated with a closure, and others.
