What makes this hospital different than those in Lower Case

Although the term lying-in hosptial applies to more than one facility, the one that twice affiliated with New York Hospital was a specific hospital. It existed in more than one building, over an extended period. It received $1,000,000 from J. P. Morgan (and more later on from his son, Morgan Jr.), and eventually folded into New York Hospital, dropping the "Lying-In" name in 1932. This article includes a link to some of the content of the 30+ boxes archived at New York Hospital. One of the cited NYTimes articles refers to the name New York Lying-in Hospital, but that was not the name in 1932, hence the title of this article is, in caps, Lying-In Hospital.

Note: their last pre-second affiliation's building became another hospital. Pi314m (talk) 00:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A lying-in hospital is an old name for a maternity hospital. This really needs to be made clear in the article from the very beginning. --Samesawed (talk) 17:26, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
