Can someone please fix the medical jargon toward the end of the article? Many people do not know what those abbreviations mean. Cheers, Mazeau (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Clarification on 1896 and "Nassau"
While the hospital's history may say they were founded in 1896 and began as Nassau Hospital, Nassau County didn't exist until 1899. Present-day Nassau County was part of Queens County, and when the western 1/3 of Queens joined NYC in 1898, that set the other 2/3 of Queens on a track to become a new county called Nassau County.

I wonder when the hospital actually opened (for all we know it could have been founded on paper in 1896 but opened later), and I also wonder what the very first name was. 108.41.195.229 (talk) 02:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
