NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, stylized as NewYork-Presbyterian/Queens (NYP/Q or NYP/Queens),[4][5] is a not-for-profit[6] acute care and teaching hospital affiliated with Weill Cornell Medicine in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens in New York City. Formerly operating as Booth Memorial Hospital and New York Hospital Queens (NYHQ),[4] it is located on the northeast corner of Main Street and Booth Memorial Avenue.

The hospital was formed in 1892 as the Rescue Home for Women, becoming known as

NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital, headquartered in Manhattan, assumed control and made the Booth Memorial Hospital a Queens campus.[1][4]

History

The hospital began as a non-profit hospital in Manhattan operated by the Salvation Army called Booth Memorial Hospital and Medical Center, one of several Salvation Army hospitals around the United States to bear the "Booth Memorial Hospital" name.[2] It was named after Salvation Army founder William Booth.[7] It was originally opened in 1892 as a rescue home for women, particularly unmarried mothers, located at East 123rd Street in East Harlem.[2][5][8][9][10][11] After several location changes, it was moved to 312–20 East 15th Street (also referred to as 314 and 316 East 15th Street) on the East Side in the 1910s in a joint venture with the American Red Cross, when it was officially named Booth Memorial Hospital.[2][3][12] It was licensed as a general-care hospital in 1918.[2] The facility was expanded throughout the decade, officially dedicated on March 13, 1919.[3][13] It was located across from Stuyvesant Square, at the site of the modern Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital.[3]

Groundbreaking ceremonies on the hospital's current location in

New York Infirmary.[12] The women's rescue home was moved to a wing in the new hospital, called the Perkins Pavilion.[10]

Booth Memorial became affiliated with the

Jamaica Hospital in March 1999, and Flushing Hospital emerged from bankruptcy in June 2000.[22][23]

In February 2015, New York–Presbyterian announced plans to assume full control of New York Hospital Queens.[4][24] On July 1, 2015, the complex was renamed NewYork–Presbyterian/Queens, making it New York–Presbyterian's first Queens campus and its sixth campus overall.[1][24]

Facilities

The Center for Radiation Oncology at the north end of the campus.
The West Wing building, opened in 2010.
A Jamaica-bound Q20B bus passing by the hospital on Main Street.

The hospital is located on a large block bound by

Speedway LLC filling station (formerly branded as a Hess Corporation station) on the northwest corner, which is currently being demolished and turned into a parking lot.[6][26]

In 1999, a major modernization project took place, adding 200 beds to the hospital.[17] A second major expansion of the facility was approved by Queens Community Board 7 in September 2006, leading to the construction of the current lobby building and a new West Wing building.[6][27] Groundbreaking on the project took place on February 9, 2007.[28] The West Wing opened in 2010.[6][29] A new parking garage, either on the current parking lot or on property taken from nearby Kissena Corridor Park, was proposed, but has yet to be constructed.[6][27][28] In 2012, the hospital installed a half-acre of green roof with funding from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.[30]

In addition to the main facility, several other facilities, including primary and specialty care facilities, are located across Queens, particularly in nearby Flushing and Fresh Meadows.[6][9][31][32]
