The origins of NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst can be traced back to the mid 1800s and an institution known as City Hospital. Built to serve the poor, it was New York’s second oldest municipal hospital and once occupied seven acres at the southern end of Welfare Island. It was the first hospital in the nation to substantially reduce incidences puerperal or “childbed” fever among its maternity ward patients and played a major role in treating victims of the 1918 flu epidemic.

Compared to other large U.S. cities, though, New York had a relatively low death rate, at about 4.7 per 1,000 people. Boston and Philadelphia reported 6.5 and 7.3 deaths per 1,000 people, respectively. Henry and many historians chalk it up to the the city’s existing public health infrastructure and the mobilization efforts of Royal Copeland, who had just been appointed as the city’s health commissioner. “A city doesn’t come up with an emergency response like this out of the blue,” Henry said. “And the New York Health Department brought to bear its experiences confronting other diseases, particularly tuberculosis.”
