The state Health Department yesterday ordered that bankrupt Peninsula Hospital in the Rockaways be shut down, after finding its lab was a “danger and threat to patient safety.”

Health officials suspended Peninsula’s lab permit after an inspection showed it “failed to meet accepted standard of care,” said Health Department spokeman Mike Moran.

A second order directed the hospital to stop admitting patients, cancel planned surgeries and other medical procedures, and to develop a plan to transfer patients elsewhere because the lab is unsafe, Moran said.

Revival Home Health Care is seeking to buy Peninsula, which previously belonged to the corruption-plagued Medisys health network.

Peninsula spokeswoman Luz Sulik said the hospital is “expeditiously developing a plan to remedy the laboratory deficiencies and hopes to restore full services as soon as possible.”

A spokesman for Queens Borough President Helen Marshall said, “We’ll work with the hospital to come into compliance and get the lab reopened.”
