History

The original medical facility, Madison Park Hospital, was founded in 1929 by Dr. Albert R. Fritz and his brother Dr. J. Dudley Fritz.[1] It was mostly known as a maternity hospital.[2] The hospital was named for the neighborhood. Over a period of time, the name was changed and the hospital underwent more than one affiliation.

  • Madison Community Hospital of Adelphi College[4][5]
  • Hospital of the Jacques Loewe Foundation (1961)[6][7][8]
  • Community Hospital, which filed for bankruptcy in 1973.[9] In 1978 the New York State Hospital Review and Planning Council recommended closing the hospital.[10]
  • New York Community Hospital (2018; partnered with Maimonides Medical Center)[14][3] The link of the 134-bed NYCH with the 711-bed Maimonidies that began as a Clinical Collaboration in 2018 brought speculation in 2020 that "a full-asset merger" has been discussed.[15]

It began as a 60-bed hospital, subsequently expanded to 134 beds.[2] In 2006 a state agency recommended merging this hospital with another;[16] it wasn't done.
