Histori
The hospital first opened on 13 August 1953 as Forest Hills General Hospital. In May 1963, the District Attorney opened the agency's financial investigation after a former employee reported that the hospital administration was involved in the Blue Cross billing scheme. The scandal led to the closure of the hospital in November 1963. In 1964, the hospital reopened as LaGuardia Hospital, now under the management of HIP. He was later acquired by the North Shore health system in 1996 and renamed the North Shore University Hospital in Forest Hills. In 2006, the hospital was renamed Forest Hills Hospital.
In 2016, Northwell Health announced that the state of New York had approved a request to operate the hospital under its network. The hospital was later renamed the Long Island Jewish Forest Hills.
