Jamaica Hospital to Acquire Psych Center

Jamaica Hospital Medical Center confirmed on Tuesday that it is close to finalizing plans to operate the Advanced Center for Psychotherapy in Wexford Terrace, Jamaica and Forest Hills.
A spokesperson for the Center, opened in the 1950s, said continuing financial problems forced the Center to turn to Jamaica Hospital to bail them out.
The Advanced Center receives 30,000 visits a year and is staffed by 80 psychotherapists. It will now be supervised by Jamaica Hospitals Department of Psychiatry.
The Center joins a growing list of medical entities operated by Jamaica Hospital including Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn and Flushing Hospital.
