2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 28-B - Hospital Mortgage Loan Construction 2871 - Policy and Purposes of Article.

§  2871.  Policy  and  purposes  of  article. Many hospitals and other   health facilities throughout the state are becoming obsolete and are  no   longer  adequate  to  meet  the needs of modern medicine. As a result of   rapid  technological  changes,  such  facilities   require   substantial   structural or functional changes.  Others are unsuited for continued use   by  virtue  of  their location and the physical characteristics of their   existing plants and should be replaced.  Such  inadequate  and  outmoded   facilities  deny  to the people of the state the benefits of health care   of  the  highest  quality,  efficiently  and  promptly  provided  at   a   reasonable  cost.    Their replacement and modernization is essential to   protect and prolong the lives  of  the  state's  population  and  cannot   readily  be  accomplished  by  the ordinary unaided operation of private   enterprise.It is the purpose of this article to encourage the timely construction   and modernization, including the equipment, of hospital and other health   facilities, which are necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of  human   disease,  pain, injury, disability, deformity or physical condition, and   of facilities incidental or  appurtenant  thereto,  with  mortgage  loan   participation  by  the  New  York  state  housing finance agency, all in   furtherance of article seventeen  of  the  constitution.  It  is  hereby   declared  to  be  the  policy of the state to encourage the provision of   modern, well-equipped health facilities, and such  provision  is  hereby   declared to be a public use and purpose.

In  considering the financial resources available to support a   project, the commissioner shall take into account programs  designed  to   offset  eligible  secured hospital borrowers' past and current unmet bad   debt and charity care losses.2. A mortgage loan to an eligible secured hospital  borrower  made  by   the  medical  care  facilities finance agency shall not exceed an amount   equal to one hundred percent of the total  project  costs,  which  costs   shall  include all costs associated with the refinancing of indebtedness   attributable to unmet bad debt and charity care losses.
