Good afternoon i am new principal of that hospital web hospital back as infectology hospital

Part of the problem was understaffing. I m not defending what went on there but the staff may have started out with good intentions but The pressure of working short staffed all the time is horrible. The workers at agencies now are severely underpaid.

The people that were in ❤there are spread across the island in agencies like ACLD AHRC Maryhaven Little Flower (closed now) DDi, YAI and FREE. FREE alone has over 100 community houses and I don’t know how many apartments. I met many of them as a Social Worker in various agencies and they are thriving! They get occupational and physical therapy job coaches that go to jobs with them ands I have personally had discussions with them about their experiences in CI and KP and they get therapy for their traumas.

The place employed thousands good jobs with pensions. Now they are all closed and the patients are all living in tents in cities, a shame. Great soundtrack! Great with the storm! Watching her in Vegas, I used to live up the road from the place….talk about a different planet. Oniontown is right up the road( seven wells rd), film that place if you dare! If you go wear a flack jacket. There is also a giant methane plant right there also. And up behind the hospital building you filmed is a giant reservoir and earthen dam which is gonna fail and flood the whole valley, that’s gonna be wild. The reservoir was for the whole nuthouse complex. There is a song on TH-cam about this nuthouse, search Dark Barn, Wingdale, Pawling NY. Local band I was in we did a song about the place back in the day. Moving away from this was the best thing I ever did.

Knew shrinks who managed the hospital they were very nice down to earth people outside of the hospital. Sadly, we need to bring back the intuitional system. it's immoral to leave so many people on the streets unable to take care of themselves a risk to them and others. Institutions are scary but they serve a great purpose and need to be brought back. Mandatory incarceration for people unable to take care of themselves needs to be brought back as well. And soon!

Worked there .in today's complex world they need places like these. They had great care and very caring people that cared!

The campus is so huge it took us 4 visits to explore most of the important buildings 10 years ago. But, when did it actually shut down? The thought of renovating just the main building for example it would run into millions just for the asbestos removal before a hammer drops.

I was able to share this with others extremely interested in the topic of mental health institutions in the past.

Ive been in medical clinic....tagged the quad...and explored 139....its a real trip in there. I made a few vids here on you tube. This was really interesting.....ty

So I would definitely bet that the origin of big pharma was testing there drugs on these people. Why else would there be so many abandoned phyc wards? Sad stuff.

Breaks my heart my dad worked here over 40 something years I remember he would take me here I never went inside scared the hell out of me still does 7:33

Asbestos covers pipes and floors They had a central power plant boiler room to feed steam and hot water to all the buildings

Great video, so much history there

What our for the cops.

Id be so scared walking through there

just recently scoped out the place but almost got caught how’d you guys manage to get inside the big building awesome video tho

Really nice lightning shots

Amazing video and music choice for this. How recently was this abandoned like this ?

Whewww. Now that was good.

Is it easy to get in access still and if so would you recommend it? I’ve urbexed majority of the locations near this place and definitely wanna check it out soon.

These videos are really underrated the production quality alone makes it deserve more views than what it has.

Was there a lot of security around? or was it easy to get in

how did you guys get keys?

👌

Ew

Super cool spot.

Is here where this was recorded? th-cam.com/video/bBxjbi05YPA/w-d-xo.html

Watched many psychiatric hospital videos, this is one of better ones extremely interesting especially former employees' reflections.

I worked there in the 80s. As most of my family did. I started in housekeeping. Then, building 23, the rehab then transferred to the storehouse. Left in 10-19-88 after being injured on the job. Now living in Kansas.

👍The Pink Floyd music was perfect.

Awesome vid. It was so interesting to see because this place is definitely better preserved than Kings Park. Looks like less water intrusion and less vandalism. Hopefully it stays that way. I really appreciate urban explorers like you guys who don’t destroy everything in sight.

I love the use of pink Floyd in the opening

Summer 2016 I was skating this campus with my lil brother. I had no idea what this place was until now. I always had a feeling of being watched but just kept skating being aware of my surroundings. I remember trying to get my bro to go in one of the buildings that was unlocked but he was too scared. I don't blame him. Good times. I miss you bro.

It’s a very nice place I walk with my dog almost every Saturday with my kids when they were younger playing with the dogs with my wife walking around it’s really enjoyable the nature and I always wandered what is the story behind this place and your video is very informative thank you

Who ever made this video, thank you. I needed to see this nightmare again and face it. Yes I was a pt.

At 24:25 of this video. About that golden gloves boxer who was a patient at kings park psychiatric center, he must have gotten hit in the head many times and must have gotten brain damage from boxing. I also have to add that being that golden gloves boxer pesant died, he must of died from being under 2% body fat. Being under 2% body fat is very dangerous and he must have no energy/fat to burn left and died.

Still explorable?

Loved it!

🤧

That shot with the 2 heavy chairs in the blue room between the window was amazing

First thing , amazing architecture ..😊

nice video bro

Excellent video and editing, PF song perfect for this.

Seeing this, makes me think I really need to get back there 🤩

I hope to get there eventually 👍👍

The like button is not working. Excellent video ❤

I literally grew up across the street ( off Lowell Ave.) and the "Hospital Grounds" was the ultimate playground. My Nana ( Muriel R.) was a pharmacist there until it's last days in the 80's. I learned valuable lessons from Nana about empathy and how to treat my fellow man with respect. She was instrumental in starting a museum dedicated to C.I. and let me just say I got to see some wild old photos that'd make some folks' skin crawl lol. I have a lot of fond memories of the patients and my time roaming the grounds with my friends. thanks for the (mostly) good memories. Much love to my hometown C.I.

A section, refered to as D-4 was an alcohol detox located at the Central Islip campus. The recreation section had a bowling alley. And the Brentwood campus contained a living and work in the community section for alcoholics getting back on there feet
