[2] On December 16, 1960, a mid-air collision over Staten Island left 134 people dead; one of the two aircraft that had collided crashed in Park Slope in Brooklyn.

A plaque inside the hospital’s chapel commemorates the event, including the 65¢ that were found in the boy’s pocket upon arrival.

[4] In 2014, the hospital announced plans to construct a new ambulatory care building on property already owned by the facility.

A local community group, Preserve Park Slope,[5] filed a lawsuit to overturn a decision by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals to approve plans for the building.

[7][8][9] The construction and additional renovations were meant to address overcrowding issues, particularly after the closure of the nearby Long Island College Hospital.
