Jamaica Hospital

Established in 1891 in a rented four-bedroom home in Jamaica, Queens, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center's growth has been remarkable. Through commitment to our mission and collaboration with community residents, businesses and other groups we have strengthened and expanded the hospital's services. Today Jamaica Hospital is a 431-bed, fully accredited community teaching hospital with a large network of community-based ambulatory care centers. JHMC offers a full array of acute inpatient, rehabilitation and mental health services, and one of the busiest ER-Trauma Centers in the Region. The hospital provides general medical, pediatric, and psychiatric emergency services, ambulatory care on and off campus, ambulatory surgery, a broad spectrum of diagnostic and treatment services, and home health services. The affiliated 224-bed Jamaica Hospital Nursing Home (Trump Pavilion) provides long-term care on campus. MediSys Health Network (MediSys) is the not-for-profit parent organization of JHMC as well as several other not-for-profit healthcare provider organizations, including Flushing Hospital Medical Center, Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, Trump Pavilion, Brookdale's nursing home. JHMC provides high quality, accessible services to the underserved residents of Queens. Jamaica Hospital's services fill a void for the people in our community, many of whom speak limited or no English, are underinsured or have no health insurance.
