The departure comes as the hospital’s future remains uncertain.
The chief executive of SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn has stepped down amid concerns about “unethical conduct,” according to a statement from Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Berger, Liapis, Hochul’s office, the state Office of the Inspector General and the state ethics commission all declined to comment on the reported investigation.“I have made clear that my administration has no tolerance for any form of unethical conduct, and I immediately directed SUNY to restructure leadership at University Hospital after I was briefed on the situation,” she said.
“As always, SUNY takes all necessary steps to ensure it upholds the strongest standards and legal requirements,” Liapis said in a statement. “SUNY is implementing necessary measures to ensure additional oversight and stability during this transition. SUNY remains committed to ensuring a strong future for Downstate.”
