Led by our Board of Trustees and senior executives beginning in the late 1970’s, Jamaica Hospital was brought back from the brink. Emerging from near oblivion brought about by financial decline, and operational difficulty caused by an old and outdated facility, Jamaica Hospital is today a larger, stronger and more prominent medical and community health institution. Jamaica Hospital has undergone a major transformation over the past 25 years of its existence. It is filled with defining moments, colorful characters, and connections to events affecting the local community, the City of New York, and the world. The history of Jamaica Hospital is a long and colorful one.
