The Henry J. Carter Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility is located at the site of the former North General Hospital, which was closed in July 2010.[2][3] This facility partially offset the closure of the Goldwater Memorial Hospital of the Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility located on the south side of Roosevelt Island.[4][5] Goldwater Memorial Hospital was closed to make room for expansion of the Cornell Tech educational campus.[1][4] The $285 million facility is named after Henry J.
