    St. Mary's began in 1870 as a small hospital with 15 beds in Hell's Kitchen. In 1951 it left its Manhattan home for Queens, where its parent, St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children, now runs programs for children with medical complexity and special health care needs.

    The city's only post-acute pediatric care facility closes many programs in the pandemic

    St. Mary's, called in 2020 the one place in New York City giving post-acute care to children, closed many of its programs from March 2020 through May 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic. The closures came because parts of the facility were regulated as an adult nursing home.

    “…due to parts of their facility being "regulated as an adult nursing home," many of their programs closed March 2020 through May 2021.”
