Coler Specialty Hospital is a chronic care facility on New York City's Roosevelt Island that provides services such as rehabilitation and specialty nursing.[1] The hospital was formed in 1996 by the merger of two separate chronic care hospitals on Roosevelt Island.[3] Goldwater Memorial Hospital, on the south end of the island, closed in 2013, while Bird S. Coler Hospital is still located on the north end of the island.
