ListsHospitals in the United States

Cabrini Medical Center of New York City was created in 1973 by a merger of two Manhattan hospitals. It closed in 2008 due to financial difficulties cited by the Berger Commission,[1] followed by a bankruptcy filing.[2]

In January 2010, the five buildings formerly housing the medical center were purchased by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for $83.1 million,[3] with plans to open an outpatient cancer facility;[4] but in 2013 the buildings were sold to a developer to be converted into residences.[5]

Columbus Hospital

Columbus Hospital was founded in 1892,[6] incorporated in 1895,[6] and officially opened on March 18, 1896,[7] by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to address the needs of Italian immigrants. The founding group included the (now canonized) Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini,[8] and among the first physicians of the hospital was George Frederick Shrady Sr.[7]

The original address of the hospital was 226–228 East 20th Street, which had a capacity of 125 beds in 1886.[6] In 1913 it was moved to larger quarters vacated by the New York Polyclinic Hospital at 214–218 East 34th Street.[9]

Italian Hospital and merger

Italian Hospital was founded in 1937 by the Italian Hospital Society, with the assets and the West 110th Street location of the defunct Parkway Hospital.[10]

In July 1973, Columbus Hospital and Italian Hospital merged. The combined organization took the name Cabrini Medical Center, after Mother Cabrini, and became a 490-bed facility[10] located at East 19th Street between Second and Third Avenues near Gramercy Park.[8]

Financial difficulties and closure

The main entrance in April 2010, two years after the hospital closed.

The Cabrini Medical Center website reported: "As of March 14, 2008, many of the services at Cabrini Medical Center are no longer available. ... The Emergency Department, acute inpatient units and most outpatient services are closed."[11] The center closed permanently on March 16, 2008, due to financial difficulties that resulted in patients and staff seeking other health care and employment.[8][12]

On July 10, 2009, Cabrini Medical Center filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing assets of $46 million and liabilities of $167 million. The top five secured creditors were the mortgage holder Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ($35.1 million); Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Chicago ($33 million); the New York branch of the Missionary Sisters ($18.7 million); Service Employees International Union National Benefits Fund ($5.1 million); and an affiliate of Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center ($4 million). The largest unsecured creditors were Consolidated Edison ($4.2 million); St. Vincent's ($3.2 million); Dormitory Authority of the State of New York ($2.6 million). Cabrini owed a $828,000 health facility assessment tax to New York State, $418,000 in fees to the New York State Department of Health, $412,000 in dues to the Healthcare Association of New York State, and $308,000 to Mount Sinai Hospital.[2]

Medical staff residency training records and verification have become available through the Federation Credentials Verification Service.[13][14]
