Pan American Hospital

Defunct Manhattan hospital, now apartments

Pan American Hospital, now defunct, opened in 1927 at 161 East 90th Street, Manhattan. Its intended purpose was "to serve the Latin-American people through their own Spanish and Portuguese-speaking doctors and nurses."[1]

It closed in 1930.[2]

## History[edit]

In less than two year after opening, Pan American Hospital was in court regarding whether or not they'd be able to continue operation.[3]

The New York Times editorialized that Pan American Hospital "should be continued"[4] since "through no fault of its own management" the hospital faced financial problems.[5][2]

Creation of the hospital was encouraged by William Sharpe, "the first president of the Pan-American Medical Association." [6]
