Astoria Sanitarium, also referred to as Daly's Astoria Sanitarium, was a private hospital owned by Dr. John F. Daly.
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.
Astoria General Hospital
"A group of physicians purchased the hospital in 1949 and changed its name to Astoria General Hospital; this was 32 years after Dr. Daly had finished Fordham Medical School. In 1993, Astoria General affiliated with Mount Sinai. With some fund raising, they expanded and relocated.
At their new location they became Western Queens Community Hospital and subsequently Mount Sinai Queens.
