Ramon Rodriguez, interim CEO, said the hospital will double the size of its ASC and develop partnerships with physicians in the Brooklyn and Queens communities.

Mr. Rodriguez stepped in as the hospital’s CEO after the dismissal of Rajiv Garg, an executive whose spending decisions were criticized by the community.

Richard Becker, CEO of Brooklyn Hospital Center, said he was surprised by Mr. Rodriguez’ decision to forgo to the merger and hopes he will reconsider his decision.
