NYC Health + Hospitals/Coler, formerly known as Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility, was a 815-bed chronic care facility on New York City's Roosevelt Island that provides services such as rehabilitation and specialty nursing.[1] The hospital was formed in 1996 by the merger of two separate chronic care hospitals on Roosevelt Island.[3] Goldwater Memorial Hospital, on the south end of the island, closed in 2013, while Bird S. Coler Hospital is still located on the north end of the island.

The hospital was renamed in November 2015 as a reflection of its parent organization's rebranding.[4]

Facilities

Goldwater Memorial Hospital opened in 1939 as the Welfare Hospital for Chronic Disease[2] on a 9.9 acre (4.0 hectare) tract just south of the Queensboro Bridge. "...Dr. S.S. Goldwater, Commissioner of Hospital, announced yesterday that Dr. Chrisman G. Scherf, medical superintendent of Metropolitan Hospital, would be medical superintendent of the new hospital on Welfare Island."(timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1939/04/02/95769476.html?pageNumber=29) The hospital, which included a medical library, was named for Dr. S.S. Goldwater, the New York City Hospitals Commissioner responsible for the hospital complex master plan, in 1942.[2] It operated as a center for polio survivors, providing needed long-term care. One of its patients, Harriet Bell lived there from 1954 to 1979 and served on the hospital board as president for four terms, assisting in the drafting of the Patient's Bill of Rights.[5]

Goldwater was built on city-owned land, and shut its doors on December 31, 2013[6] to provide for the new Cornell NYC Tech campus. The hospital's closure and patient relocation was first announced in 2010, and demolition began in January 2014 with the removal of asbestos.[7][8][9]

Bird S. Coler Hospital opened in 1952 and occupies most of the north tip of the island. According to city officials, there are no immediate plans to close the north campus.[10]
