Emanuel Unity Hospital
Emanuel Unity Hospital[1] was a hospital in Brooklyn; it is now defunct. It originated as Emanuel Hospital[2] and Unity Hospital. By the 1970s it was referred to locally as Unity Hospital.[3]
History[edit]
The same local hospital that attempted to swallow up Emanuel Hospital in 1899[2] was, in 1978, battling them for its own survival.[3] The latter situation resulted in a compromise: for then, Unity would "keep its methadone maintenance drug program and its outpatient services open, both of which will be run by Jewish Hospital." By 1989 Jewish also lost a battle for survival.[4]
Unity Hospital's 1545 St. Johns Place building,[5][6] once the hospital closed,[7] became an apartment building.
