The Department received comments from three sources, the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS), and Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center). All comments were in support of the proposed rule. Although all three organizations used the occasion to reiterate their support for further changes in the CON process currently being considered by the Department, these additional comments in no way qualified or diminished the organizations'support of the proposed rule itself.
