Parkchester General Hospital, located in The Bronx,[1][2] was a privately owned[1] 208-bed medical facility[2] that opened in 1941 and closed in 1978.

The owner, Dr. Charles Louis Engelsher, died while plans were being made for an adjacent third building which was to house an eight-storey nursing home.

[3] The hospital closed March 20, 1978 and was demolished some time prior to 2006 when an apartment building was built on the site.

[1] It was earlier owned by Dr Charles Louis Engelsher from 1941[5] to his death from coronary occlusion on August 25, 1964 (age 62).

[9][10][11] The final closing of the hospital followed a 30-day suspension of the abortion and maternity services by the New York State Health Department, citing "life‐threatening deficiencies".
