Interfaith Medical Center, based in A Brooklyn, N.Y., has filed for chapter 11 protection listing the federal and state governments and several malpractice plaintiffs among its largest creditors, the New York Times reported yesterday. Interfaith lists the State Dormitory Authority as its single-largest creditor, with more than $130 million in secured and unsecured claims, according to court papers filed on Sunday. The court papers also list six malpractice settlements and one malpractice jury verdict ranging from $1.3 million to $7 million among its largest unsecured claims, along with a pension fund for nurses and a union benefit fund for Local 1199 SEIU, the health care workers’ union.
