Jewish Memorial Hospital was a former hospital in New York City. [1] It opened 1898 and subsequently relocated twice. [2] [3] [4] The hospital permanently closed in 1982. [5] [6]
The 1934-built eight-story 186-bed [3] Inwood, Manhattan hospital, [5] like its earlier 1923 location, was planned [7] [8] as a "commemoration of Jewish veterans of World War I." [5] [2] [9]
The Inwood building was opened in 1934 and expanded in 1959. [4] [10] In 1981 the Jewish Memorial Hospital was part of a three-hospital neighborhood primary care coalition described as novel and unique. [11] In 1982, oversight agencies, after weighing reports that the hospital had serious "deficiencies" and recognition that it "serves a large minority community" [3] forced it to close. [5] [12] An aftereffect of this closure, along with 30 others "in the last seven years" is an observation that it's "harder to get a sick patient into a decent hospital without dangerous delay." [13]
