History

edit

Royal Hospital, at 2021 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York, 10453,[2] was a 91-bed [3] private hospital. In 1942 it was owned by Dr. Morris A. Mason.[4]

By the mid-1970s, as the neighborhood declined,[5][6] the focus of the hospital was increasingly abortions; New York Magazine wrote in 1973 that the hospital had been "completely remodeled in the past eight years" but concluded that it had "seen better days."[7]
