冰球突破的历史
Starting out as a summer cottage built high upon “Breezy Knoll” in York Village in 1906, 纽约医院 has since grown to become one of the most respected, 贴心和先进的设施在沿海地区. Early incorporators purchased the land atop “Breezy Knoll” where the hospital still stands today, for $15,000. In a converted cottage style home, 纽约医院 opened its doors on July 22, 1906. It was a 10-room hospital and among the first patient’s treated, 有伤寒的诊断, 癫痫, Rheumatism and Delirium; with surgical cases including appendectomies, 骨折治疗, 癌, 子宫内膜异位症和子宫切除术. 董事会的第一任主席是Seabury W. 艾伦，1904年当选. The cottage remained as the hospital’s main building for care for 50 years before its then Board of Trustees, led by Roy Sturtevant embarked on a fundraising campaign to erect a new, 照顾病人的现代化设施. A $400,000年“现代”, 2-story building was built on the hospital property (dubbed the ’58 Building) and opened April 12, 1959. 这是全新的, 最先进的私立医院, 半私人及四床房(共32张床), along with 6 bassinets and 2 nurseries on the upper floor for inpatient care; and surgery, 紧急, lab & x-ray, 以及支持性的医院服务，比如饮食, 供应, 管家, 等等被安置在较低的一层.
1959年9月8日，旧的平房医院被拆除. 这座建于1958年的建筑至今仍屹立不倒, though it has been added onto and modified several times to be the 纽约医院 we all know and love today. The original ’58 Building is the current Hancock Wing upper and lower floors of the hospital. In 1960, 医院的入住率从66%上升到85%, 手术增长了130%, x光80%实验室检测需要125%. 医院很快就没有房间了. In 1962, a 3-story addition to the hospital was completed on the south wing of the building (on the Barrell Mill Pond side of the building) that included space to increase the bed count to 41, 增加了一个带室外阳台的日光浴室, 更多的办公室, 护理站, 会议室, 药店, 还有额外的空间来扩充医疗记录, 实验室和中心无菌设备. 这个新增部分目前位于二楼的乳房护理室, 实验室接待区在主楼层, 下层为IS设备存储.
A 2-story north wing addition took place in 1965 to add space for the expanding laboratory, x-ray, 一个新的门诊候诊室和更多的办公空间. It went through additional renovations over time and currently houses the laboratory, CT Scan, and Cath Lab on the lower level and the Ellis Conference Room, 行政和心血管护理在二楼. The next major addition happened in 1968 when Extended Care services were added. An entire new wing of the hospital was constructed and attached to the ’58 building via a corridor. The 40-bed Extended Care Wing – called the Henry Strater Wing was dedicated on May 25, 1969. 还有全新的病房, 这个项目增加了一个新的厨房和餐厅, 美容院, 壁炉和医院的第一台彩色电视机. 延长护理服务一直到2008年, when the skilled nursing service was transitioned to Durgin Pines Nursing Home in Kittery.
The wing is currently home to inpatient rooms and 家庭护理 (birthing and pediatrics). 到20世纪70年代末, the hospital was providing services for 68 acute care beds and 18 skilled nursing beds in a space that was designed for a 46-bed hospital. The community was expanding and pressure to expand was felt again. The board and leadership looked at many alternatives but decided upon an idea to construct a new wing to solve the space issues in 1979. Regulatory issues and CON reviews delayed the project but the hospital pressed on. Its 4.4 million expansion, known as the Cameron Biewend Wing opened in June, 1983. 它建在大楼的西北角, and provided the hospital with its new entrance on Lindsay Road. The expansion provided new space for many services to move into – including the 紧急 department (with ambulance entrance), 新增门诊部, 放射学, 有5个床位的特殊护理病房, new lobby and admitting on the ground floor and new semi-private and private inpatient rooms on the second floor to replace the former 41-bed acute care wing in the ’58 building.
The space in the ’58 building that was vacated was then renovated and turned into physical therapy, 额外的实验室空间, 心脏病学, 医疗记录, 医学图书馆, 办公空间和日光浴室. Things remained quiet for a while as staff and patients became accustomed to the new space. 但是……有些事情正在酝酿之中! By 1985, the surgical services at the hospital had grown well beyond its space. 现在30岁, the center needed more space than the 2 operating rooms could handle, 此外，还出现了另一个新增项目的计划. In 1992, the Baldwin Family Surgery center opened in the basement of the new Biewend Wing(after having relocated 供应 that were once housed there to a new location, 构建一个4,000平方英尺). 新的手术中心有自己的入口, an additional OR (bringing the total to 3) and provided for expanded surgical capabilities, 特殊程序和肿瘤护理. 医院并没有止步于此. 新增了许多服务和程序. Most significant changes have occurred in the communities around us. 心脏健康研究所在纽因顿开业, NH in 1993 (and moved to York in 2002); 纽约医院 began bringing services closer to home by building service centers in the surrounding communities.
第一个, 威尔斯的冰球突破, was built in 1999 and housed an Urgent Care center and several ancillary services and physician practices. The success of this site led to many others – including 纽约医院 in 南伯威克 in 2004; 纽约医院 in Berwick in 2007; Kittery services were added in 2008 but a brand new building was built, 2012年打电话给基特里的冰球突破. The last major renovation/addition to occur on the hospital’s main campus was an addition to the surgery center, 增加了2个手术室, 扩大了前 & post-op space and provided a private recovery area was completed in two phases in 2010 and 2011.
Today, 纽约医院 includes the main hospital building – with all of its additions and changes – along with dozens of community sites and physician practices to care for all of your health care needs. We will continue to grow, as the health care world continues to evolve.
