History
The hospital center opened as a private facility in 1887 and was later named Brunswick Hospital Center.[2] It was privately owned by the family of Benjamin Stein, a radiologist who took it over in the early 1950s.[3]
The Brunswick Medical Center opened in 1978 and after a string of financial troubles, was turned over to Suffolk County, NY.[when?][citation needed] In 2005, the hospital closed its doors and was later demolished in 2012.[4][5]
The psychiatric division, Brunswick Hall Psychiatric Hospital, was reopened prior to the pandemic and remains in operation today.[6]
