Bronx Eye and Ear Hospital[1][2] was a hospital already using that name in 1909. The New York Times headlined about them in 1937 "Most Complete in World."[1] They moved more than once, and renamed as Bronx Eye Hospital by 1968.[3] The hospital has since closed.
History
They acquired a new facility in 1912.[4] Their locations, all in The Bronx, included:
- East 142nd Street
- 459-161 East 143rd Street
- 321 East Tremont Avenue[1]
The New York Times reported in 1939 that the prior year, having opened in what was to be their final location, the hospital "had 19,472 patients."[5]
NYC building records of 2021 show the long since closed hospital's building serving as an infirmary.[6]
