NYC Mayor, Bill de Blasio, committed $28 million to help SIUH weather potential hurricanes, like it saw in 2012 with Superstorm Sandy. Combined with a $12 million commitment from NY State Governor, Andrew Cuomo, our Staten Island hospital estimates the facility upgrades will be complete by spring 2016. SIUH thanks Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio for their leadership and commitment to the health and well-being of the people of Staten Island. And a special thanks to Staten Island's Borough President, James S. Oddo; Councilmen Vincent M. Ignizio, and Steven Matteo; NY State Senator, Andrew J. Lanza; and NY State Assemblyman, Michael Cusick. Without them, this project would not have been possible. Visit http://www.siuh.edu for more information.
