History

In 1986 a group of doctors purchased the 100-bed hospital "to serve the Asian population in Flushing, Queens."^[2][5] It became a division of Flushing Hospital Medical Center in 1988^[6] the latter was acquired by New York Hospital in April 1996.^[4] Parsons closed^[4] within months of being "cut off from Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement" for serious violations.^[2]

The building was sold with the understanding that the new owner would demolish it.^[7]
