Jamaica Hospital admits its first patient in an earlier building on this Van Wyck Boulevard site
Jamaica Hospital finished an earlier building on this site, then on Van Wyck Boulevard, on August 24, 1924, and took in its first patient there that day. It was dedicated the next day, when the hospital formally opened there. The institution had begun in 1891 near today's Jamaica Avenue and 169th Street, using $179.40 that residents had raised in 1883 and saved for it.
