Little Neck Hospital
Former hospital in Queens, New York From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Neck Hospital, also known as Little Neck Community Hospital,[1][2] Deepdale Hospital,[3] and Deepdale General Hospital[4] all referred to a 185-bed facility at the same address on Little Neck Parkway in Little Neck, Queens, New York City.[5] It opened in 1959 as Deepdale, was renamed in 1991, and closed in 1996.[6] By the time it closed, this hospital was operating as a division of Flushing Hospital Medical Center;[7] the latter was acquired by New York Hospital in April 1996.[1]
Deepdale, which opened in 1959, had a program for training nursing students from a local college.[8] The hospital was bought by Preferred Health Network in 1991,[9] and in 1993 New York State's Department of Health made it known that it was planning on "eventually closing Deepdale."[9] The hospital closed in 1996,[6] and its building was purchased in 1999 for conversion into an assisted living facility.[10]
They were fined after being charged by New York State's Attorney General with illegally overcharging patients for telephone service.[11] The accusation said it was a "deceptive and unconscionable business act." A larger fine was imposed for two situations involving "improper medical procedures" (both fatal).[4]
In 1973, a nearly two hour power loss was compounded because "its emergency generator was inoperative and the Fire Department was called to provide a portable power supply."[12]
