New York's Floating Hospital now treats the poor through two landlocked healthcare facilities, according to a "Throwback Thursday" article on Hospitals & Health Networks website.
The floating hospital aspect of the Floating Hospital was discontinued after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but 2016 this year marks the 150th anniversary of when a summer cruise program for underprivileged children was launched.
The cruise evolved into a permanent healthcare program and the Floating Hospital.
The Floating Hospital moved to dry land after 9/11. In 2009, the first Floating Hospital Community Health Center welcomed patients.
