Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital is an 1890s-founded hospital that had been "designated a total-care trauma facility since 1984." In 1986 they expanded and added "a new 20-bed psychiatric unit and a rehabilitation unit." [2] The hospital also formed an AIDS program. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
The Mount Vernon hospital changed its name to Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital when it was taken over by Montefiore Health Systems. [10] [1]
The cornerstone for Mount Vernon Hospital was laid in 1893. [11]
The hospital was located in Mount Vernon's downtown area, which is "only about a mile square and densely built." It was described in 1986 as "a major institution;" [2] in 1996 it was described as "a financially distressed institution." [12]
They had already begun to specialize in healing chronic wound cases in 1989. [13] In 1996 they affiliated with another hospital and specialized more, including focused services for mental-health patients. [12] They already had experience at working with other hospitals, such as offering a program for local diabetics, aided by a larger Bronx-based teaching hospital. [14] In 1999 they closed their maternity unit, and redirected expecting mothers to an affiliated hospital that tripled the capacity of "its neonatal and maternity wing." [15]
They were a flagship "to prevent the spread of infectious diseases within hospitals and within the community." Part of this included reaching out to young children with a 'pledge' to wash their hands. [16]
