Royal Hospital was a medical facility housed in a privately owned New York City structure called the Professional Building. ^[1]

History

Royal Hospital, at 2021 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York, 10453, ^[2] was a 91-bed ^[3] private hospital. In 1942 it was owned by Dr. Morris A. Mason. ^[4]

By the mid-1970s, as the neighborhood declined, ^{[5] [6]} the focus of the hospital was increasingly abortions; New York Magazine wrote in 1973 that the hospital had been "completely remodeled in the past eight years" but concluded that it had "seen better days." ^[7]
