Exploring NYC's Abandoned Hospitals

Over the last twenty years, NYC has been hit hard by hospital closures. These closures have lead to a shoestring system that could not meet the strain of the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020. This page will serve as a catalog of nearly all the hospitals and health care facilities that were abandoned in the NYC area. The sheer volume of posts that will fill this section will serve to highlight the absolute depth of this problem, and the various ways it cumulated into it's present barely functional system. This entire section of this website is dedicated to the over 20k New Yorkers who passed away during this pandemic.
