History

Deepdale, which opened in 1959, had a program for training nursing students from a local college. [8] The hospital was bought by Preferred Health Network in 1991, [9] and in 1993 New York State's Department of Health made it known that it was planning on "eventually closing Deepdale." [9] The hospital closed in 1996, [6] and its building was purchased in 1999 for conversion into an assisted living facility. [10]

Controversy

They were fined after being charged by New York State's Attorney General with illegally overcharging patients for telephone service. [11] The accusation said it was a "deceptive and unconscionable business act." A larger fine was imposed for two situations involving "improper medical procedures" (both fatal). [4]

In 1973, a nearly two hour power loss was compounded because "its emergency generator was inoperative and the Fire Department was called to provide a portable power supply." [12]
