I was born in that hospital on 1976, it’s sad that now I found out that it’s structure is not even standing up.
It’s an Art School now, although the building was destroyed it was rebuilt in 1984 as the school that stands there today. I was born there in 1975.

I was born in that hospital in 1951
My husband and I were both born there, 1952 & 1954. I remember seeing the building there and was fascinated by it’s shape. Sad that it’s closed and GONE.
My daughter was born there in 1974. Googled Jewish Memorial and found out today the hospital no longer exists. Sad.
I was born there in 1950, and my brother in 1952.
I was born there in 1950. My parents, Holocaust refugees, lived on Fort Washington Ave. in Washington Heights.

I was born there August 22, 1945 while my father was serving in the South Pacific on the USS Rutland.
I was born there in1940.
I was born there in 1949. My father was a pediatrician on staff there from after WWII until he died.
I was born there on February 16, 1958. My parents had to drive over from Paramus, NJ in a blizzard.
It’s very moving to see all these posts. I was born there September 24th 1945.
My father was born at Jewish Memorial in 1921. The hospital that was demolished on 196th and Broadway was built on that site in the1930’s.
Does anyone know the location of the original site?
Also, my husband was born at the last location on 12/31/1945.
The original site for Jewish Memorial Hospital stood on Bolton Road near Dyckman Street and the Hudson River. The Henry Hudson Parkway now runs through Bolton Road.
I was born there on dec of 68 my mother lived across the bridge in the Bronx, Godwin terrace.
Was there an earlier Jewish Memorial at another location? My mom is 93 and says she was born at JM in 1925.
I was born in this hospital in 1938. I heard it was demolished and wondered if any records were available
in any form for research.
I was born there in March 1944. My dad was in the army during WWII (in India) when I was born. I thought they shut the hospital and made condos out of it. Lived for a couple of years in East New York and then a couple of years next to Parkchester until my dad came home and we moved into Stuyvesant Town. Glad there’s a school on that land. Just drove by 196 Street and Broadway today. Wish I knew what happened to the hospital when I lived in Inwood.
It’s nice that the school currently on the site includes echos of the art deco architecture of the hospital.
