History

edit

The name Rye Psychiatric Hospital Center was incorporated in 1973.[5] By 2014 they had closed.[6]

Rye[7] had provided "services for the mentally ill." Patients included those with addictions, and whose "behavior represents a danger to himself and others."[8]

A famous patient 'vanished' from their facility, a lunatic asylum which The New York Times described as a Sanitarium.[4] The hospital[9] is sometimes referred to as "Rye Hospital Center".[10]

Controversy

edit

In 1984 the State of New York claimed that their facility was underutilized (and cut funding); their challenge was rejected.[11][12]
