Pursuant to Docket #106, the following creditors have been appointed to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in these cases by the Office of the United States Trustee:
Tail Insurance Funds for former Medical Professionals and Staff at St. Vincent’s Manhattan Hospital and Saint Vincent’s Westchester Hospital
Manhattan Tail Fund
On October 29, 2010, the Court approved a settlement agreement between SVCMC, the Committee of Interns and Residents/SEIU, a group of 108 physicians, and a nurse practitioner previously employed by St. Vincent's Manhattan Hospital. The settlement agreement provided for the creation of a self-insurance, or “tail,” fund for the benefit of SVCMC and the participating former physicians, interns, residents and other medical staff that were employed by St. Vincent's Manhattan Hospital and its related clinics in Manhattan. The agreement prevents the pursuit of certain current or future medical malpractice actions against medical professionals and limits claims to monies set aside in the tail insurance fund.
Westchester Tail Fund
On September 22, 2011, the Court approved an amendment to the original settlement agreement to include the former medical professionals that were employed at St. Vincent’s Westchester Hospital and its related clinics. The amendment provided for the establishment of a separate, but functionally similar, tail insurance fund for the benefit of participating medical professionals previously employed by St. Vincent’s Westchester Hospital.
Pursuant to the settlements described above, the Court temporarily extended the automatic stay to enjoin the prosecution of medial malpractice claims against the Debtors and participants in the tail insurance funds. The temporary extension of the automatic stay is set to expire on the earlier of January 31, 2012 or the effective date of the Debtors’ chapter 11 plan. The Debtors expect to seek a further extension of the automatic stay. You may click here to obtain a copy of the current stay extension order.
