History

The hospital was founded in June 1922 as Woodley Hospital|Woodley Sanitarium and Nursing Home^[3] in Little Silver, New Jersey, by Mary Augusta Garner Seaman on the family's Victorian estate. In 1927, it relocated to two rented houses at 139 Broad Street, Red Bank, New Jersey, after the Little Silver property was sold by Miss Seaman's mother. It was incorporated in 1928 and moved to a renovated boarding house on Union Street as Red Bank Hospital, with 29 beds, one operating room, a delivery suite and facilities for six newborns. After a public naming contest, it was renamed Riverview Hospital on August 10, 1929.
