The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.

Intensive Training

A project to overcome institutional constraints to breast-feeding was implemented in a large municipal hospital. Interventions included staff education, intensive training of a team of physicians and nurses, development of user-tested educational materials, and day and evening staffing by a breast-feeding counselor. A nearby hospital served as a control. Project evaluation entailed chart reviews at the intervention site and a control hospital (n = 812); interviews with mothers during their postpartum hospital stay and at return clinic visits (n = 180); and field observations in all areas of the hospital that provided prenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, and pediatric care. Comparisons of the incidence and pattern of breast-feeding were made before, midway through, and after the project. At the intervention site, the incidence of breast-feeding increased from 15% to 56%, and exclusive breast-feeding for more than 3/4 of feedings increased from 0% to 15%. At the control site, the respective changes were from 28% to 41% and from 5% to 7%. Formula use by breast-feeding women decreased but was nonetheless extensive, and the usual reason given by breast-feeding women for supplementation was a perceived insufficiency of breast milk. This may be due, in part, to the fact that bedside assistance to breast-feeding mothers was not integrated into the routine care provided by staff nurses but was relegated to the lactation nurse/counselors who were not available at all times. It is concluded that the process to overcome institutional constraints to breast-feeding is difficult but feasible. Repeated and extensive professional education helps create the context whereby clinical and administrative staff can reassess routines and policies.
