— StopNYMRT (@StopNYMRT) December 4, 2013The WNYC reporters John Keefe and Andrea Bernstein are asking for the public's help to identify a medical care center in New York City, which has received $3 million in taxpayer money, but, which, according to the Moreland Commission's report on corruption, has few, if any, patients.
One may recall that the urgent care center operated by North Shore-LIJ/Lenox Hill Hospital in Chelsea was supposed to have received taxpayer money. But according to YELP, that urgent care center appears to now be closed.
Could this be the mysterious facility that has received millions in taxpayer money in exchange for providing nonexistent medical care services to the community ?
Stay tuned.
