  • A New Look at Our History: Part I
    1 1 MOUNT SINAI QUEENS 0 2 r e b m e v o inside N A New Look at Our History: Part I In this issue of Inside Queens, we tell the story of our Hospital’s very beginnings up through the 1930s. We will continue the story from the postwar years to the present in the December issue. Up until 2010, the accepted thinking was that our history dated to 1910. Based on that date, we thought we reached our centennial as a hospital. In fact, research shows that Mount Sinai Queens can trace its history back almost 120 years to 1892, when Astoria was hailed as “one of New York’s fairest suburbs,” a magnet for the wealthy and successful. It was nearly 20 years earlier than we first thought, in 1892, that the Hospital was founded by a group of Astoria philanthropists, led by Mrs. Frank E. Hagemeyer and included Mrs. Blackwell, Riker and Rapelye—a who’s who of the elite in northwestern Queens. The original Astoria Hospital opened in a former private residence leased by William Steinway of the Steinway piano family, and was CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 The original hospital, today’s Annex Look Focus On: Emergency Department inside Whether patients walk in or arrive by ambulance, the Emergency Department (ED) sees a wide range Joining the Medical Staff: of emergency cases—stroke, cardiac, broken bones, Melissa S.

  • MEDICAL CENTER ARCHIVES of NEWYORK-PRESBYTERIAN/WEILL CORNELL 1300 York Avenue #34 New York, NY 10065 Finding Aid to the RECORDS
    MEDICAL CENTER ARCHIVES OF NEWYORK-PRESBYTERIAN/WEILL CORNELL 1300 York Avenue #34 New York, NY 10065 Finding Aid to the RECORDS OF COSMO LACOSTA Dates of Records: 1962-1989 197.5 Linear Inches (16 Boxes) Finding Aid Prepared By: Elizabeth Shepard Associate Archivist November 2014 © 2014 Medical Center Archives of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell 2 PROVENANCE: This collection is a consolidation of four donations that Cosmo Lacosta made to the archives. They were originally cataloged under the departments that he held at the time of the donation. However, all of the records extended into different positions that he held at the Division of Professional Services and General Services (later called General and Support Services). Due to the overlap of these collections, it was decided to consolidate them into one collection to make it easier to access these records. The collections were donated as follow: General Services, date of donation not noted General and Support Services, June 8, 1988 Associate Director, Division of Professional Services, November 1995 Burn Center Records, date of donation not noted ADMINISTRATIVE/BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Cosmos LaCosta earned a BS in Education in 1963 from Fordham University and a MA in Public Administration (Health Administration) in 1973. He served with the U.S. Army at the hospital in Orleans, France, 1964-1965 and the U.S. Reserves from 1966-1968. He first joined the staff of New York Hospital in 1967 as an executive assistant. He moved up the ranks to assistant director (1971-1975), associate director of Professional Services (1975-1983), and Executive Associate Director of General Services (1983- 1989).

  • Hospital Postcard Collection
    Center for Hospital and Healthcare Administration History Hospital Postcard Collection The postcard collection is comprised of over 2,500 postcards depicting primarily U.S. hospitals and medical centers. The collection provides a visual record of a variety of hospitals, sanitoriums, and other related buildings. The postcard collection dates from 1902. The attached description and inventory are available to aid researchers using the collection. The postcard collection is part of the Center for Hospital and Healthcare Administration History, sponsored jointly by the American Hospital Association and American College of Healthcare Executives, and is available for on-site use in the AHA Resource Center. Hospital Postcard Collection Description of the Collection The collection is arranged alphabetically by state, then by city, then by name of institution. Descriptive information has been taken verbatim from the postcards themselves. Any inconsistencies in format can be attributed to this fact. Postcards for an institution that have date information come before postcards for the same institution that are undated. A number in parentheses to the right of a hospital's name indicates the number of postcards for that hospital. If no number is indicated, then there is one postcard for that hospital. Each postcard has been placed in an archival sleeve. On each sleeve is an assigned number, in order for the postcards to remain in correct sequence (for example, Alabama postcards are labeled and numbered AL-1, AL-2, AL-3, etc.).
