Peninsula Hospital Center
History
The hospital expanded in 1960. In 1964, then still known as "Peninsula General Hospital in Edgemere, Queens," they built a supplementary 2-story structure primarily for nurses quarters. In the 1970s Peninsula attempted to take over another hospital.
PHC ran a 173-bed acute care community teaching hospital campus, and a 200-bed long-term care and rehabilitation center, serving the communities of the Rockaways, the Five Towns of Nassau County and parts of Queens and Brooklyn.
Peninsula, which in 2006 a state agency wanted St. Johns to absorb, closed in 2012.
Since 2014 the facility has been known as Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center operated by Cassena Care.
