Hospitals of New York City
Saint Mary's Free Hospital
for children
The success of the Saint Mary's
Free Hospital for Children,
which was opened five years ago
by a few persons, who quietly
made themselves responsible for
the rent and maintenance of a
building, is now a fact beyond
doubt. At the beginning, the
Institution was placed, by those
who agreed to maintain the
experiment, under the
supervision of Bishop Potter,
while the hospital work was
put in charge of the Sisters of
Saint Mary. A removal to larger
premises, at No. 407 West
Thirty-fourth street, was
found necessary three years ago,
and during the last two years it
has become evident that a large
and suitable building, with all
the modern hospital
conveniences, has become a
positive necessity. A movement
is on foot for the purchase of
the present house and the
grounds adjacent, and on the
lots east of the house it is
proposed to build the new
hospital. The cost of this
ground and the
house will be about $25,000,
which sum it is proposed to
raise by subscription. There is
no distinction made on account
of religious creeds in the
admission of patients into the
Institution, and as it is the
only child's hospital of the
kind in the country, it is hoped
that all persons, irrespective
of creed, will give it aid and
sympathy. Contributions may be
sent to and certificates
received from the Hospital, No.
407 West Thirty -fourth street,
New York City.
New York Hospital
Office, No. 8 West Sixteenth
street:
(Library, Pathological
Cabinet and Business Office of
the Hospital and Bloomingdale
Asylum.)
This institution was founded
1770; chartered by George III.,
July 13, 1771; corner-stone laid
July 27, 1773. Patients first
admitted, Jan. 3, 1791. The old
building finally vacated
February, 1870.
The property heretofore known as
the "Thom Mansion," on West
Sixteenth street, has been
purchased by " The Society of
the New York Hospital,''
together with the surrounding
land, forming a plot 125x103
feet on Sixteenth street, and
75x103 feet on Fifteenth street,
in the rear. The above building
will be used for the
administration purposes of the
Society, and will contain, in
addition, its extensive Library
and Pathological Cabinet. The
Hospital will accommodate about
150 patients, or a larger number
if more land adjoining can be
purchased, in which it is
intended to care for persons
injured by accidents, or who may
be taken suddenly ill in the
streets in the westerly and
southerly districts of the City.
Bellevue Hospital
Entrance, foot of Twenty-sixth
Street, East River. Established
November, 1826, as a Hospital
for the sick and the insane
poor. Present number of beds,
1,000; provision for 1.200.
Maximum charge for patients,
$3.50 per week, which is
expected only from those
abundantly able to pay.
Contagious diseases not
admitted. The medical management
is vested in a Medical Board,
who meet on the first of every
month, to assign from their
number the visiting staff to the
several divisions. The admission
of patients between 10 A.M. and
3 P.M. is readily procurable
upon the recommendation of a
physician. Accidents and sudden
illness at any time, day and
night. Hours for visitors, from
11 A.M. to 3 P.M., daily. St.
Luke's Hospital. Fifty-fourth
Street, between Fifth and Sixth
Avenues. The object of this
corporation is "the
establishment, support, and
management of an institution to
be known as St. Luke's Hospital,
for the purpose of affording
medical and surgical aid and
nursing to sick or disabled
persons, and also to provide
them, while inmates of the
Hospital, with the ministrations
of the Gospel, agreeably to the
doctrines and forms of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. A
further object of the Society is
the instructing and training of
suitable persons in the art of
nursing and attending upon the
sick." This noble institution
was founded by the REV. WILLIAM
A. MUHLENBERG, D. D., in 1846,
since which time, liberal
donations have been contributed,
spacious ground purchased, and a
large edifice erected. The
corner-stone of the building was
laid in 1854, and finished in
1857, at a cost of upwards of
$100,000. The Hospital is under
the control of a Board of
thirty-one Managers. The
officers of the Society are a
President, two V ice-Presidents,
a Treasurer and a Secretary. The
professional staff consists of
four attending and four
consulting physicians.
