Congress looks into alleged $1B Medicaid shortfall
Letter to Dr. Mehmet Oz requests federal guidance in NUMC case
By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com
Over a year has passed since former leadership at Nassau University Medical Center filed a lawsuit against New York state, alleging a decades-long Medicaid scam that deprived the largest safety-net hospital on Long Island of as much of $1 billion in aid.
Following a turbulent year at NUMC, in which its board and leadership was ousted and replaced by mostly state appointments, the federal Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating the same reports, according to a Jan. 16 letter sent to Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medical Services within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The alleged Medicaid scheme In late 2024, Nassau University Medi-
cal Center and its parent public-benefit corporation, the Nassau Health Care Corporation, accused the state of withholding $1.06 billion, plus interest, in Medicaid payments that the hospital said it was entitled to receive.
According to notice-of-claims documents distributed to reporters at a November 2024 press conference in the lobby of the East Meadow hospital, a disproportionately large share of patients served by NUMC are eligible for Medicaid. NUMC is one of three public hospitals in New York that serve all patients, regardless of their ability to pay for medical care.
Because of the large number of Medicaid patients, the hospital receives federal funding through the Disproportionate Share Hospital program and the Upper Payment Limit program — both Medicaid programs authorized under the Social Security Act. In order to
Learning medicine through food class
By ANGELINA ZINGARIELLO azingariello@liherald.com
A group of fourth-year medical students from the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell took part in the Culinary Medicine elective that integrates nutrition education with hands-on experience in a hospital kitchen.
The program is designed to help future physicians better understand how food and dietary choices intersect with patient care.
On Jan. 15, the students commuted to Long Island Jewish Valley Stream hospital for a pediatric nutrition session. They cooked in an active hospital kitchen while observing how meals are prepared for patients.
Eva Sheridan, an assistant professor in the Department of Science and Science Education at the Zucker School, collaborated with Alice Fornari, a registered dietician and a professor of science education and family medicine at the school, to create the elective in 2020.
“My sister is a [veterinarian], and she went to vet school back at the time, and as part of vet school, she had a whole semester where she was learning about the feeding schedule of the animals,” Sheridan recalled, speaking at the start of the program. “And I was kind of thinking, huh, when I went to school, and still, there was no learning about the feeding of human beings, and that is essential.”
Sheridan joined the Zucker School
faculty in 2018 after working in psychiatry research, where she focused on mitigating weight gain often caused by antipsychotic medications. Her current role involves facilitating small-group learning throughout the medical school curriculum.
The course uses Health Meets Food courseware, which integrates nutrition science, clinical cases and culinary instruction. When the elective first launched during the coronavirus pandemic, it was conducted remotely, with students taking part in case discussions and viewing live cooking demonstrations on Zoom. Once in-person learning resumed, the program moved into hospital kitchens.
It is structured around selected nutrition modules, which have included protein intake, food allergies, weight management and pediatric nutrition.
Executive Chef Russell Ficke, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, leads the hands-on cooking at LIJ Valley Stream. Ficke has worked for Northwell Health since 2004, and came to Valley Stream in 2021, after 17 years at Syosset Hospital. He has been involved with the Culinary Medicine elective for five years.
“I think it’s great that … they know that we can help them help patients,” Ficke said of the medical students. “That’s what I really like about it, that I’m making a difference in my own little way through the back end.”
During the session two weeks ago,
Teen indicted for murder
A Baldwin teenager has been indicted on murder and weapons charges in connection with a shooting at a Hempstead house party that killed a 19-year-old woman and injured two others.
Jacob McMillan, 18, allegedly opened fire after being denied entry to a party on Willow Avenue late on Nov. 22, prosecutors said.
The gunfire killed Amira McCleod, a sophomore athlete at Monroe University from St. Albans, Queens, and left two other people wounded.
McMillan was arraigned on charges including second-degree murder, attempted murder, and criminal use of a firearm, and pleaded not guilty.
He is being held and is due back in court on Feb. 23. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
“This was senseless violence that cut short a young life full of promise,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said. “Amira McCleod was simply out with friends when a bullet struck her in the head and killed her instantly.”
According to the indictment, McMillan tried to enter the party shortly before 11 p.m. and was stopped by the host, who
attempted to search him. When McMillan refused, he allegedly pulled a gun and shot the host twice — striking him in the arm.
As he fled the scene on Kennedy Avenue, McMillan allegedly fired another shot. That bullet passed through another partygoer and struck McCleod, killing her at the scene.
Investigators used surveillance footage and doorbell camera video to trace McMillan’s movements, including footage showing him wearing the same outfit at multiple points: a dark blue and black North Face jacket, light-colored jeans, and black sneakers.
He was arrested in Baldwin on Dec. 2 by the Nassau County Police Department’s Bureau of Special Operations.
At the time of the shooting, McMillan was already being monitored by pretrial services for a previous felony charge.
Prosecutors said he is also facing a separate burglary case that allegedly occurred just days before the party shooting.

Medicaid fraud claims resurface in recent letter
receive payments from the federal government, states — in NUMC’s case, New York — must contribute their assigned share, commonly referred to as the state share or non-federal share, to hospital funding.
Typically, the state share matches the federal contribution.
According to the notice-of-claims documents, in 2024, NUMC was due to receive DSH payments totaling roughly $100.2 million. The federal share of the DSH payments was half of that total, around $50.1 million, which was transferred to the State Department of Health for distribution.
The documents alleged that the state orchestrated a ruse to mislead the federal government by requiring NUMC to front the state’s contractual share of the DSH funds from its own operating account. As a result, NUMC received only half of the DSH payments it was entitled to, because the state required the hospital to fund its own non-federal share.
The hospital alleged that it had been a victim of similar schemes since at least 2001.
Throughout 2025, a restructured board was implemented at the Nassau Health Care Corporation and NUMC, due to provisions that passed in the
state’s budget in May. These changes ousted former leadership who brought allegations against the state. Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed a new chairman of the board, Stuart Rabinowitz, a former president at Hofstra University. The hospital also welcomed Thomas Stokes as its new chief executive earlier this month.
On Jan. 15, the hospital announced it had received $109.6 million in funding from state leadership.
Letter
to Dr. Mehmet Oz
In a Jan. 16 letter to Oz, U.S. Rep. James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, and chair of the House Oversight Committee, said the committee is “investigating reports that the State of New York has been failing to abide by current law and properly match federal Medicaid funds.”
Runder the Medicaid DSH program.”
Citing articles on the alleged Medicaid scheme by both the Herald and the New York Post, Comer said “reports on this scheme indicate that the state has engaged in this behavior for more than 20 years, costing taxpayers over $1 billion for one hospital alone, Nassau University Medical Center.”
eports on this scheme indicate that the state has engaged in this behavior for more than 20 years.
U.S. Rep. JameS ComeR Chair, House Oversight Committee
Comer stated that the committee is concerned that the state, and potentially other states, are failing to follow federal law by “misrepresenting the source of the non-federal share that the state is responsible for providing to trigger federal dollars
The committee, he said, initiated an investigation in July of last year by sending a letter to Hochul and the state’s Executive Chamber, and has received some, but “nowhere near all” of the requested documents and communications.
Comer wrote that four members of Congress from New York wrote to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. and the Acting Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Stephanie Carlton and “requested clarification on the obligation of states, including New York, to ensure timely and complete DSH payments to NUMC and other eligible hospitals.” They also requested a review of the situation that
occurred at NUMC to determine if the state’s actions follow federal statutes and regulations.
Comer requested a briefing to assist in the investigation, as well as the issuing of a “formal clarification regarding the proper sourcing of non-federal share funds for the Medicaid DSH program.”
State’s response
State officials have long said the takeover at NUMC was necessary, citing a storied history of mismanagement that they say put the hospital into financial distress.
A spokesperson for the governor told the New York Post, covering the same matter at the hospital: “NUMC’s previous leadership left the hospital in a deep financial hole because of years of mismanagement and an outright refusal to meet the state’s basic oversight requirements, putting patient care at risk.”
The money provided to the hospital earlier this month, according to a release shared with the Herald, reflects the state’s “recognition of the hospital’s progress under new leadership and its commitment to stabilizing operations while preserving access to essential health care services for Long Island residents.”
Nutrition coursework anchors cooking session
students prepared dishes aligned with the pediatric nutrition module, including butternut squash and white bean quesadillas, cauliflower mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, spaghetti squash pasta, hidden vegetable hamburgers, peanut butter and banana roll-ups and sautéed Swiss chard.
Cooking in a functioning hospital kitchen allows students to observe large-scale food preparation, offering them insight into how hospital food service operates while they work independently or in small groups on their own dishes. LIJ Valley Stream prepares meals from scratch and sources vegetables locally when available. Students shared the dishes they prepare as part of the course experience.
Student Eusha Hasan took part in Culinary Medicine while applying to internal medicine residency programs, having completed his undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Zucker School. The course, he said, allowed him to apply nutrition concepts discussed in patient cases directly to cooking and future patient education.
As a self-described novice cook, Hasan found the session at LIJ Valley Stream accommodating to students with varying culinary skills.
“[Ficke] was more than willing to teach us at all levels,” Hasan said. “Me
being on the very more basic, rudimentary level, and that, while some of my other classmates were more advanced, and he was able to modulate his teaching based on that.”
Student Maia Pavlovic took the course to learn more about holistic medicine, her interest shaped by her personal experience living with Type 1 diabe-
tes. After completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, she has conducted research in infectious diseases, autoimmunity, diabetes and endocrinology at various research centers in different parts of the country. Culinary Medicine, Pavlovic said, increased her confidence in addressing food and nutrition as part of patient
treatment plans, and reinforced the value of multidisciplinary care involving dietitians.
Sheridan said that the long-term goal is to expand nutrition education beyond an elective format and integrate the culinary coursework more broadly into the medical school curriculum. Northwell Health plans to open a dedicated teaching kitchen in the future.

Furthermore, as to the bidding,
1.The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates.
2.The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates.
3.The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid.

Town offers boat safety classes
Town of Hempstead residents need to know that state law requires every operator of a personal watercraft to receive a boater safety certificate. Whether residents plan to sail on South Shore bays, venture into Long Island Sound, or cruise inland waterways, the law applies to anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988 — and by 2025, it will apply to all boaters, regardless of age.
To make this certification more acessible to local boaters, town officials have organized several courses administered by the town’s Bay Constables. The constables, who patrol local waterways and respond to emergencies, will lead the instruction and guide participants through boating laws, navigation rules, and safety procedures.
The courses are open for enrollment as early as February, split into three sessions that must each be attended to receive a certificate: Feb. 10, 17 and 24, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the Town Conserva-
tion Waterways building, 1401 Lido Boulevard in Point Lookout.“We want to ensure that residents are [sailing] safely to protect themselves and their fellow boaters,” Town Supervisor John Ferretti wrote in a news release. “We encourage boaters in need of certification to attend a course right here in America’s largest township.” Once boaters attend all three sessions and receive their certificate, the documentation must be kept on board the vessel at all times while sailing, as required by law. The courses are free to attend, though the state charges a $10 fee to issue the certificate. Town officials recommend that residents register early, as spots may fill up quickly in advance of the spring boating season. To register for a Boater Safety Class, call the Town Bay Constables at (516) 897-4100.

Learning about Alzheimer’s
In recognition of Black History Month, and in partnership with the Divine Nine Consortium, the Alzheimer’s Association is offering a free live webinar, “Alzheimer’s & Dementia: What You Need to Know” on Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. The Divine Nine serves as a coordinating body for the nine historically Black fraternities and sororities, offering opportunities to advance leadership, education excellence, service, cultural heritage and social impact.
The one-hour webinar will feature a dynamic panel of clinicians, researchers, caregivers and advocates representing the Divine Nine, exploring the intersection of dementia science, health equity, and lived experience. It will examine how Alzheimer’s and related dementias impact diverse communities, discuss participation in research and clinical trials, and share culturally responsive practices to improve awareness, engagement and outcomes.
Currently, more than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Black Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease as older white Americans. Chronic health conditions associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, disproportionately affect Black Americans.
According to the 2021 Alzheimer’s Association Facts and Figures report,
Pursuant to an Order Confirming Referee’s Report and Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale duly entered on October 16, 2025, I, the undersigned Referee will sell at public auction on the front steps on the north side of the Nassau County Supreme Court, 100

nearly two-thirds of Black Americans, or 62 percent, believe that medical research is biased against people of color. A history of exclusion from clinical trials and a lasting history of discrimination from the medical establishment contribute to high levels of mistrust of clinical trials among Black Americans.
“We know that Alzheimer’s disease disproportionately affects Black older Americans,” Dr. Carl V. Hill, chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at the Alzheimer’s Association said. “We are committed to continue engaging underrepresented communities.”
