Astoria Sanitarium,[1] also referred to as Daly's Astoria Sanitarium, was a private hospital owned by John F. Daly.[2]

History

A medical facility in Queens, NY named Astoria Hospital closed in 1898, and in 1910 "several former doctors from the Hospital attempted to revive Astoria Hospital, but they were unsuccessful." A 1925 attempt, using the name Daly's Astoria Sanitorium, operating as " a private sanatorium and maternity hospital" succeeded.[3][4]

Astoria General Hospital

"A group of physicians purchased the hospital in 1949 and changed its name to Astoria General Hospital;[4][5] this was 32 years after Dr. Daly had finished Fordham Medical School. In 1993, Astoria General affiliated with Mount Sinai.[4][6][7] With some fund raising, they expanded and relocated.

At their new location they became Western Queens Community Hospital and subsequently Mount Sinai Queens.[8]

Controversy

The New York Daily News published a story regarding a resident of Astoria Sanitarium, and her husband, the sanitarium's owner, who were key parties in attempts to unravel the murder of a police officer.[2][9]
