Brunswick Hospital Center


Brunswick Hospital Center or Brunswick Hall Psychiatric Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located in Amityville, New York on the border with the hamlet of Copiague, NY. The hospital closed in 2005 and the buildings were later demolished. Portions of the sprawling campus were dedicated to psychiatric services and portions to medical services.
Portions of the hospital opened in the early 1900s. "The 477-bed Brunswick Hospital once employed about 1,400 people. It was privately owned by the family of Benjamin Stein, a radiologist who took it over in the early 1950s. Stein's real estate holdings surrounding the hospital were once valued at more than $40 million, court records show." Many buildings were demolished in 2012, and village officials are looking toward redevelopment to plan a vision for the future on the property.
The Brunswick Medical Center opened in 1978 and after a string of financial troubles, was turned over to Suffolk County, NY. The buildings ongoing expenses totaled over US$20,000/mo and the property sat vacant from 2011–2013.
Only the psychiatric division named Brunswick Hall Psychiatric Hospital remains today and is currently operating.
Brunswick Hall functions with multiple Units for each type of patient. The Units are ADE which is adolescent males. ADW which is mixed adults. Legacy which is for the criminal minded and Horizon which is the geriatric unit.
Located nearby is South Oaks hospital which specializes in psychiatric treatment for people of varying acuities.
