Project: Staten Island Health Wellness Campus
Quote:
The city is considering a plan to transform a nearly 100-acre former tuberculosis treatment center on Staten Island with dozens of landmarked buildings into a multipurpose health campus.
The proposal, called the Staten Island Health & Wellness Campus, was penned by Staten Island Borough President James Oddo and recently submitted to the city's Economic Development Corp. and the Health and Hospitals Corp., both of which are funding a feasibility study.
Under the plan, many of the aging, long-vacant structures on the turn-of-the-century Seaview Hospital grounds—once used as the city's principal tuberculosis treatment center—would get a makeover, and several new ones would be built. Meanwhile, a nursing home that occupies several buildings will remain.
The plan would establish a number of institutions on the leafy grounds of the campus. They include a children's hospital, community centers for Alzheimer patients and seniors, and facilities for adults with disabilities and special-needs children.
