#WomensHistoryMonth – Jamaica Hospital was founded over 130 years ago, making it an important part of Queens' history. A group of women played a key role in establishing our hospital. In 1891, the Circles of the King’s Daughters fundraised to renovate an old building to create a temporary hospital, The Jamaica Hospital. From 1891 through the first four months of 1898, 236 people were received as patients in the temporary building. The first permanent Jamaica Hospital was formally opened on June 18th, 1898. Mrs. C. H. Harris, Mrs. PH. Remsen, and Mrs. J. A. Kehlbeck served on the building committee, and Ms. Mary Gayle served as the hospital's president. Throughout our hospital’s history, women have played an integral role in our growth and achievements. This Women's History Month, we take the opportunity to honor the women, both past and present, who have cared for our patients and contributed to the rich history of our community.
