Exploring The Craziest Abandoned Hospital With Security Inside
This abandoned hospital was originally built in 1933 in gorgeous Art Deco architectural style. The hospital towered at 19 stories high and measured over 1.5 million square feet. The hospital once held over 3,000 patient beds making it one of the largest hospitals in the entire country.
The hospital annually served over 1 million patients in outpatient settings and around 150,000 emergencies alone. The hospital was known for having some of the best medical treatment available as the hospital always had the latest state of the art equipment, world renowned doctors, and many services and programs that other hospitals couldn’t provide. Some of these services and programs were the level one trauma center, the burn unit, the neonatal intensive care unit, the college of nursing and health, a military trauma center, a cancer care center, and later a world-recognized HIV clinic.
The hospital began to have problems when costs of building maintenance began to skyrocket. This problem, coupled with the fact that the hospital was no longer up to fire and earthquake code, an inevitable decision was made to build a new, modern, and more cost-effective facility.
In 2008, the brand new hospital opened it’s doors across the street from the former hospital. All patients were moved over to the new hospital by the end of 2008.
It was at this time that the former hospital was officially closed.
Although the hospital did officially close in 2008, many of the lower floors continue to operate businesses from within the former hospital. Some of the businesses include a wellness center, community outreach, activity classes, a dance studio, a ymca, and other small non-profit organizations. Most of the upper floors were left abandoned; including the burn unit, the neonatal intensive care unit, and parts of the college of nursing and health. Located within the former college of nursing and health was a monster of an autopsy theater where many students learned anatomy and various surgical procedures over the years. Also located in the abandoned section were numerous operating rooms; each with their own unique look. Some of the operating rooms had the hospital beds still sitting underneath the operating lights and others just had operating lights only. Throughout the abandoned section of the hospital there were many hospital beds, medications, medical equipment, and even paperwork all left behind. Since it is only partially abandoned, the gigantic hospital still has power throughout. This makes exploring this place very sketchy and creepy, but a definite once in a lifetime experience.
Although several plans to repurpose the former hospital have been proposed over the years; such as converting it into a homeless shelter, affordable housing, and even a hotel, nothing has come to fruition yet. As of 2021, the hospital still sits partially abandoned.

Rest In Paradise Rebecca. You are truly loved and missed by everyone. #Bwordliveson
