Peninsula Hospital Center (PHC), formerly known as Peninsula General Hospital, is a community hospital in the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens, New York. PHC, founded in 1908, is currently an affiliate of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.
PHC runs a 173-bed acute care community teaching hospital campus, and a 200-bed long-term care and rehabilitation center (Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation) serving the communities of the Rockaways, the Five Towns of Nassau County and parts of Queens and Brooklyn.
In 2011 the government of New York has decided to either shutdown the hospital to save money and yet there have been protests to prevent such type of action like this.
PHC offers the following medical services:
Nursing Home: Attached to the hospital is a 200-bed facility known as the Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation (PCECR).
Family Health Center: This facility offers comprehensive outpatient care for all ages.
