Flushing Hospital Medical Center
Flushing Hospital Medical Center (also known as Flushing Hospital)[1] is one of the oldest hospitals in New York City.[2] It survived a 1999 bankruptcy[3] and subsequently affiliated with first one and then another hospital network.
History[]
Established in 1884,[4] in 1951 the hospital celebrated the birth of its 5,000th baby.[5]
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,[6] 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,[7] 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.[8]
The hospital's original major building, constructed in 1913, was demolished in 1975.[4]
Affiliations[]
MediSys Health Network owns and operates Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Flushing Hospital Medical Center.[9][10] Its prior affiliations and management include the New York Presbyterian Healthcare Network.[11]
Parsons Hospital became a division of Flushing.[12] the latter was acquired by New York Hospital in April 1996.[13]
