Facing about $200-million in debt, Harlem’s North General Hospital announced Monday that it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and shut down next week, The New York Times writes.

The move comes two months after the closure of another prominent New York hospital, St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village. However, while a promised urgent-care clinic to replace St. Vincent’s has yet to materialize, North General will immediately be taken over by a government-subsidized walk-in clinic under a deal brokered by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Gov. David A. Paterson, and other leaders, according to the newspaper.

The New York City hospital system will also move a nursing home and a rehabilitation center to the North General site.
