Terrace Heights Hospital was a privately owned 166-bed hospital in Hollis, Queens[1] that opened in 1947 and closed in 1984.[2]

The hospital was a "general medical facility"

History

[edit]

In 1976, they were told by New York's State Health Department that "its obstetric and pediatric services might be shut down" because of under-utilization;[3][4]

In 1979, they were on a list of 10 hospitals the state wanted to close because of "3,000 unnecessary beds."[5]

The year after the hospital closed, Holliswood Hospital, a psychiatric hospital, bought the building.[6]
