There are other hospitals that use the Misericordia name.[7][8] This one originated well over a century ago.[9] They share the word misericorde which the New York Times translates to English as mercy.[10][11]
Misericordia Hospital at 86th Street in Manhattan.
The hospital moved from Staten Island to Manhattan in 1889.[1] The facility's mailing address was 531 East 86th Street, New York City in the [Yorkville, Manhattan] neighborhood.
In 1955 the hospital announced that it had purchased land in the Bronx and was beginning construction of a modern 3-block medical center.[1] Their 531 East Eighty-sixth Street building in Manhattan was sold, via a real-estate agent, to "erect a tall apartment house on the site."[12]
The reported $9 million construction costs[3] were higher than the $7,250,000 that had been announced 3 years prior.[1]
Renamingsedit
Beginning in 1985 the hospital underwent a series of name changes:
1985: Our Lady of Mercy Hospital / Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center[13]
then renamed the Wakefield Division of Montefiore.
Affiliationedit
Beginning in 1963,[14]Misericordia had "an affiliation agreement,[5] whereby it supplies medical personnel to Fordham."[15] In 1971 this led to Misericordialetting go "85 physicians and other personnel assigned to Fordham Hospital under an affiliation contract, because of what it described as a $1.4-million cutback by the city's Health and Hospitals corporation."[16] Another affiliation, this time with Lincoln Hospital, began in 1976.[17] That same year, New York City's Health and Hospitals Corporation "questioned the large proportion of foreign-trained physicians on the Misericordia staff, in the belief that training in the United States was generally superior."[18] In 1979 these doctors unionized.[19]
Controversyedit
Since Lincoln Hospital's doctors were supplied by Misericordia, and the latter, for religious reasons, "have never performed abortions," this created a conflict with the mayor's "policy to provide abortion services for poor women in the communities where they live."[6]
