Both campuses of Staten Island University Hospital have received permission from the New York State Health Department to reopen, in the wake of Hurricane Irene’s departure.

The evacuation of hundreds of patients from both the Ocean Breeze and Prince’s Bay campuses began August 26 as Irene charged up the Eastern Seaboard. Patients will now be transported back to the hospitals, or discharged, depending on individual circumstances. All hospital employees were expected to report for their usual duties August 29.
