N.Y. clinic that treated Joan Rivers gets accreditation reprieve

Comedian Rivers arrives for gala honoring late stand-up comedian Carlin at Kennedy Center in Washington The New York outpatient clinic where comedian Joan Rivers was treated a week before her death last year will have until March to fix its problems so it can retain its federal accreditation and funding, a government health agency said. Rivers, a brash, pioneering comedian who broke new ground for women in stand-up comedy, suffered cardiac arrest during an examination of her throat and vocal cords at Yorkville Endoscopy on Manhattan's Upper East Side. If Yorkville Endoscopy does not fix problems that were uncovered during an investigation by the New York State Department of Health, it will not be reimbursed for services to Medicare beneficiaries under the program. Melissa Rivers, the only child of the comedian, has hired lawyers to investigate the circumstances surrounding her mother's death.
