By 1993 Flushing Hospital was described as "an unaffiliated community hospital that is struggling financially." [2] On that basis, the hospital affiliated with Preferred Health Network, [7] then-described as "a network of hospitals and health centers based in Brooklyn."

A voluntary hospital, Flushing's nursing staff was particularly affected in early 2012 by financial difficulties, [8] having been listed in 2011 as being among six NYC hospitals "in critical condition" - at the time it was part of the MediSys Health Network. [9]

The hospital's original major building, constructed in 1913, was demolished in 1975. [5]
