It’s sad to see the state of what was a staple in the city of Orange. So many jobs were loss. The education building was a school of nursing. It breaks my heart. Thanks for the video.
I was born here in the summer of ‘67. This was the go-to place for all of my family’s ills, and its also where my Dad & sister passed away. Even in these ruins, I still see the awesome & respected medical complex that it used to be. But just like the City of Orange itself, the hospital began to take a bad turn in the early 80s & never recovered. It‘a an utter disgrace that this building still isn’t operating. That community needs it more than ever. To the Mayor of Orange & every NJ representative, shame on you. I thank the guys who produced this video, showing how disrespectful & downright dangerous it is to let this place exist this way. Please do the right thing & either save it or just tear it down. Orange will always be home, and it deserves so much better than this.
My father graduated from Duke University Medical school in 1941 and was a resident there immediately after. He picked up patients in an ambulance. He was a southerner and the Italians were new to him, but he developed a very high regard for them.
This breaks my heart. My father worked in this hospital for over 30 years. He was the last employee prior to them completely shutting down. I was born here........ my first child was born here. This is so sad!
Worked at NJ Orthopedic hosp 13 yrs. went to Nursing school at Winifred B Baldwin school of nsg. and had 13 surgeries as a child in that hosp. Too many memories
Went to the nursing school and then worked in the emergency room for 20 years. The orthopedic hospital had an awesome reputation as well as the regular hospital Heard it was sold to a developer. So sad to see it in this condition
This hospital was very promising within the city of Orange. Both my uncle & brother worked there, my father was treated there, many of the opportunities & services was given through that facility; pretty much like any other hospitals. It’s a shame that a small city like Orange doesn’t have its own medical center anymore. Now citizens have to travel either to Saint Barnabas, or East Orange General, when we had this one that was a couple of blocks away.
Joe Bell's was my grandparents' store right across the street from there. My two sisters and I were born in that hospital and I believe my mother may has as well. So sad to see the building just sitting there rotting away. That used to be my neighborhood everyone knew everyone it's so different now
I'm from Orange, The Valley. It's an old historical church and graveyard on Main Street and Scotland road. I would love to see the inside. I heard that it was haunted but I'm not sure.
This was a great hospital at one time. I grew up in Orange and this was the only hospital that we had. It was a daycare center there, WIC office. I couldn't believe it when it closed down for good.
Really ! Like literally was a great local Hospital ! I know a couple of times when my grandfather had a heart attack we'd go there. Well now he died :( Plus we have to go to West Orange for emergencies but that isn't close enough though as it is in Orange !
I was born in that hospital my mother Judy was born in that hospital majority of my family was born in the hospital majority of the people I know was born in the hospital I used to live in a project on Mechanic Street on the 7th floor with my grandmother Evelyn that hospital was like my first home dealing with my asthma it went back so many memories this video
Almost my and my husband's entire family was born and treated there. My grandparents lived right down the street, Henery St., my aunt still Ives there. At one point, Orange was a beautiful, bustling town. I will never forget Main St. At Christmas time. Some of my fondest memories.
I had 4 serious surgeries in OMH. Doctors were top tier. Accident on Eagle Rock Avenue almost took my & my husband's lives. EMTs took us to OMH. I had amnesia, car engine pierced my right leg, my tongue was severed, etc. Dr. Brothers, General surgeon was summoned from home. He & his team worked on me all night. Was there a month. Did my rehab there as well. Dr. Itkin was another great man who treated me & husband. What a travesty the surrounding communities could not save this magnificent hospital & its stellar doctors & nurses 😢.😢😢
It was an apartment building on the Central Ave side that was owned by the hospital. I'm not sure if it's there still. It had six units in it I believe and the orthopedic center was on Central avenue that was a part of the hospital
Dr Bhandari - neurologist- saved my dad's life in this hospital in 1979... I lived down the street from here when you actually could live safely in that area. What a sad mess this building and this area have become.
My grandmother had, what was considered at THAT time, a major operation in Orange Memorial around 1959. They didn't have the right doctors or proper facilities where she lived in the just developing suburbs about an hour away. So her doctor arranged for it at Orange Memorial. I believe it saved her life. Its so sad to see this hospital in such a state after only 15 years of closure. I didn't think buildings deteriorated that quickly. By the way, Orange Memorial was made up of NINE buildings.
@@martyotm5624 If you are looking at an overhead image, say, on Google Maps, with Central Ave. on the right and Henry St. on the left, the Bingham building is the middle building facing Henry St.
The Bingham Bldg had the L&D ward, and it was the oldest building in the complex. There are tunnels connecting all seven buildings. I used to do security there back in the early 90s. On 11-7 we used to do a key tour, one of the keys was in the basement of Bingham. The basement floor sloped up the further back you got, so you were bent over by the time you got to the key station. They had stuff in jars on shelves, organs and such. Stuff with decades of dust on it. Your ears would start ringing the closer you got to the key station. I only went back there twice before I said f*** that and skipped that station.
wow now that's creepy! if memory serves me correct I remember being on the first floor near the entrance took the stairs to the basement but the door down there was rusted shut, second time coming from the basement of the nursing school I was able to access the front area but there were more doors rusted shut leading back, I got to say it felt really eerie being down there, that building is hiding some secrets
Worked at this Hospital for a few years good people staff Also Nurseing school form on property lot of nursing careers started here a shame how this once beautiful building has become an abandoned eye sore great memories .
I remember when I used to see this hospital all the time. Mainly because I used to live in the house next to it. When I was 8, we moved to 262 Henry St (literally in between the hospital and the funeral home) and I lived there for three years. And as nice as the house was, it was also really creepy. Not just because I lived in between two creepy places but it was probably also because the house was really old and there was a coffin in the basement which scared the crap out of me. But besides that, the house was beautiful. Chandeliers everywhere, three stories, huge bathrooms, and 5 bedrooms (six if you wanna count my closet). My room was on the very top floor and it overlooked the hospital. Not gonna lie it always used to creep me out so I tried my best not to loom at it. I honestly think that place is haunted considering how many people passed there. But yeah just living there used to creep me out so much.
Wait a minute. Hold the phone here. You lived in a house that was stuck in the middle between a HUGE hospital complex and a funeral parlor? AND it had a coffin in the basement? Why didn't your parents get RID of the coffin? Was someone in it? Or were they trying to save money by not having to buy their own? 🤣 I must confess. I wouldn't want to live in such a place. I'd keep my draperies drawn all the time! LOL My neighbor, now dead, grew up where his backyard was up against the backyard of a funeral parlor. The people who owned it lived there as was common back in the day. He told me they used to store the coffins in the garages which were up against their property lines and as a little boy, he'd see them taking coffins out all the time!
@@retroguy9494 yeah it’s the house right next to that exact abandoned hospital but no one was in the coffin. I think someone just left it there but we ended up moving out over time because my parents got divorced so we both just left. Although being between those was creepy, the house itself was beautiful. I mean I literally had the whole 3rd floor to myself. So as a kid I was really happy about that (until summer hit because it would get super hot) Also wow I wonder why they never moved the coffin out of my basement then? But maybe if no one’s living there now you could explore that house next. From what I remember there was certain furniture that stayed in the house before we moved in. Specifically by the stairs. Idk if it’s still there but I think there was a lock on it. I think it was a door or something I don’t really remember all too well. But what I do remember is the third floor and there are three rooms up there. The one straight ahead is a bedroom, the one to the left I used as a music room that looked like there was a crawl space behind it because it had shutter doors, and to the right was the attic. If you do get to explore the house I really wanna know if you would be able to find anything. It would be very interesting
@@olivialevan7725 I'm sorry your parents got divorced. I'd also like to know who OWNED that house that they were the type of person who would keep coffins in the basement and then rent the house to a family? I love these old houses with all the fixtures. I always have. Sadly, I grew up in a small ranch style house my parents had built and because I inherited it, I still live there! I'd LOVE to see your old house. But with coffins and funeral parlors and abandoned hospitals I'm not going anywhere near it! LOL Perhaps these guys who did this video can go back and explore the house if it IS vacant!
@@retroguy9494 I believe that the people that use the funeral home still work there and I also think that they used to own that house as well and yeah I hope so because that would be so cool
It is very sad to see this video of one time a Great Hospital that provided excellent Medical Care for the community.It hurts me to see this. I practiced General Medicine and Pediatrics in theHospital Professional Building serving Patients from Oranges,Newark,Irvington and West Orange.I was Chairman of Pediatric Department and President of Medical Staff in 1980sand again when Cathedral Healthcare played Dirty Trick to take over the Hospital and were responsible to CLOSE our Hospital.I was President of Medical Staff again when Cathedral Decided to close the Hospital.I fought but lost.Shame on the Cathedral Board.I believe there was no reason to close the Hospital.
My sisters and I were born in this hospital and I've stayed there a few times! I still live in the area and drive by sometimes, it's sad to see it's still abandoned after 15 years!
I have been driving past this place for years and always wondered how it looked inside, couldn't find much on the internet so I checked it out for myself!
Thanks! I just went in the place its kina a free for all, alot of people make it their home so it's almost like a hidden city within the city sort of thing that being said it is dangerous being inside
This is NOT a scary haunted place. It was an active hospital until not that long ago. I went there many times over the years. The reason it look like this is because the building was left abandoned in the hood and it was destroyed by people. Its not some super old creepy building at all. The town should have just torn it down when they closed it rather than leave it there to attract kids and/or vandalism. Very sad to see it turn out this way. Honestly, it looks more structurally dangerous than anything.
11:55 If there was a silhouette of someone next to that stained table, I'd flee. Also I remember being born in that Hospital and after my delivery, I peed on the nurse and my dad was hysterical. Meanwhile my mom just had her Goliath baby and is exhausted.
My siblings and I were all born at the hospital. It's a shame it closed and what the crackhead have done to the buildings since it closed. Unfortunately, the town can't demolish this because of the preservation society wants to keep the one building, as was said in the video, that is over 100 years old.
OMG I live around the fucking corner from that Hospital ! I live in Seven Oaks at that too ! Dam the inside looks creepy ! Mad Grafeti ! There best bet is to tear that place down. I don't think you can't go in there now. Because I tried to see if I can go in there myself. Man now I know how terrible the place looks.
The owner of this video , my name is Michael I was employed there back in 2003 as a security officer there I did all shifts 7-3 3-11 and 11-7 your information is alittle flawed but maybe I can shine some of the confusion
How the heck did you manage to get in? I went last year too. And there were drug dealers living within the hospital... I even witnessed a drug dealing right there.
I worked there for over thirty years It was a great hospital The mayor at the time and cathedral health care had it closed. What people would do for money
@@j.miller4277 yes it’s public, some cameras on the outside so cover ur face and take a look around the block for cops. Also be careful cuz people actually live there, wear a mask too cuz the air is dangerous.
While you provide an interesting service, I would suggest you learn a little bit more about these buildings, and try to respect them for the service they provided to the public. Everybody will know that it will look a "mess" or "dumpy" if its been empty for 20 years! -I think those are useless comments which detract away from its purpose in the heart of New Jersey. I was born there as were my siblings, Dionne Warwick, etc. Many healed as well as died there too. Thank you.
OMFG dude you wen't by yourself ! Are you serious? I don't mean to sound like a wuss but dude If I wen't in there I would have to have somebody with me. Oh fuck no. Haha
Of what value is a video like this? Honestly, its an abandoned complex, so it looks exactly as you would expect. But there's zero in this video about the history of the hospital, what a vital and wonderful asset it was to the community during its long career, and how it came to fall into such a state. Anybody can walk around inside abandoned buildings and say, "whoa, look at this". And no, most of that complex was not built in 1938. The buildings remaining on that site date from 1908, and most of them were built before 1938.
I WORK THE AS HOUSEKEEPER FOR 19 yrs. 7mo so I know every place in those buildings. You guess some right and some absolutely wrong. Reach to out to me if you looking the accuracy.
you're lucky you didn't get killed for just being in the neighbor please be safe in that area born and raised there and it is pretty tough watch your back in that hood
Lol the amount of people that are scared of orange and easy Orange is funny. I was born in Orange, raised in Bloomfield, and I wouldnt be scared one bit to step foot in Orange. I walk in Newark without a problem at all.
Dangerous to be in the hospital? Possibly yes with squatters and structural damage. But the actual town? Not really. If anything, Mechanic Street right down the road from the hospital was in really bad shape with shady people several years ago when the projects was there, but those buildings has since been demolished to accommodate newly built and very nice apartment buildings with upgrades.

This was our family hosptial, many relatives passed here. Great video thank you.
I live in orange Nj And I walk past that hospital and think what happened to that hospital it Was huge Thx for the video

I was born there in Feb. of 1968. The late actor, Roy Scheider of “Jaws” was born in Orange in 1932. Not sure if he was born in that hospital, though
Worked at NJ Orthopedic hosp 13 yrs. went to Nursing school at Winifred B Baldwin school of nsg. and had 13 surgeries as a child in that hosp. Too many memories
This made me miss home so much! I walked passed these remains every day going to or coming from Main Street, Joe Bells, or my friend’s house.

its sad too see this hospital has been reduced to this.. a hospital where my cousin was born.
My 2 cousins was born there too !
This is a disgrace !

The St Mary's nursing home down the street used to be a hospital.
Worked at this Hospital for a few years good people staff Also Nurseing school form on property lot of nursing careers started here a shame how this once beautiful building has become an abandoned eye sore great memories .
Hey man is this building still there? I wanna go explore it too?
yea its still there, super easy to get in
My great-grandpa was born here... crazy to see what it's become.
This was the hospital I was born in. My family lived in the house across the main entrance. I’m glad I finally got to see what the inside was like
how did you get in?
I worked therefrom 1972 to 2003 it was a very nice place to work so sad to see how destroyed it has become thank you for memories. Donna papariello
WOW over 30 years working there? That's some accomplishment. Hopefully you get a good pension!
Best career I ever had working in that hospital , I worked there from 2000- 2004 so sad I always wondered how it looked inside now
Why they close it down ?!
Thank you for sharing this video. Spent a week there at the age of six.
Sad. That's where I was born in 1967.
My mom was born there in 61. Me in 91. This whole neighborhood was Blacks & Italians. It was a beautiful neighborhood before it turned to the hood.
Worked there from 1985 to 92 Maint super, knew every inch of the place

Or you referring to died or alive one
This neighborhood was all Italians🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 back in the day.
I used to go here everything I broke my arm as a kid it's really f up on the inside it's also crazy to me that hospitals get closed down
This gives me Silent Hill vibes!

Several of my siblings were born at Orange Memorial... BTW.. Locals do NOT say "AWWrange," but rather, we say: "ARNZH."
he's not a local ...so
My siblings and I were all born at the hospital. It's a shame it closed and what the crackhead have done to the buildings since it closed.
Unfortunately, the town can't demolish this because of the preservation society wants to keep the one building, as was said in the video, that is over 100 years old.
I think they SHOULD keep the oldest building and turn it into a museum. That was quite a hospital in its day!
was just here today so spooky!
Is this place still there or nah
Yep it's still there and probably be there for a while
@@martyotm5624 would u ever be interested in going back one day for a video colab?
@@meh4757 I probably not going there anytime soon but I'm always down to go explore
@@meh4757 I would be down.
I've always wanted to go inside, but it would have to be with a group.
OMG I live around the fucking corner from that Hospital !
I live in Seven Oaks at that too !
Dam the inside looks creepy !
Mad Grafeti !
There best bet is to tear that place down.
I don't think you can't go in there now. Because I tried to see if I can go in there myself.
Man now I know how terrible the place looks.
The owner of this video , my name is Michael I was employed there back in 2003 as a security officer there I did all shifts 7-3 3-11 and 11-7 your information is alittle flawed but maybe I can shine some of the confusion
i WAS BORN HERE IN 1961
Although I pass it often the last time I was there was 1993 when my cousin was born. It’s a shame they closed it
How the heck did you manage to get in?
I went last year too. And there were drug dealers living within the hospital... I even witnessed a drug dealing right there.
Well we just walked right in, side entrance was wide open, we did see some shady people but avoided them mostly
They were drug USERS the dealers have enough money to live elsewhere.
I and one of my sisters were born in this place.
I worked there for over thirty years
It was a great hospital
The mayor at the time and cathedral health care had it closed. What people would do for money
I was born in this Hospital
Went to this place a couple of days ago, sick as hell
Is it still on public property
And can you still go inside
@@j.miller4277 yes it’s public, some cameras on the outside so cover ur face and take a look around the block for cops. Also be careful cuz people actually live there, wear a mask too cuz the air is dangerous.
the place was great so was the doctors, and nurses that work there,
my uncle was born in that hospital in 2000!
I live next to that 😭😭
While you provide an interesting service, I would suggest you learn a little bit more about these buildings, and try to respect them for the service they provided to the public. Everybody will know that it will look a "mess" or "dumpy" if its been empty for 20 years! -I think those are useless comments which detract away from its purpose in the heart of New Jersey. I was born there as were my siblings, Dionne Warwick, etc.
Many healed as well as died there too. Thank you.
I was born here.
Oh wow I gave birth to my daughter there in 1997.
Why don't they just demolish this place and build a campus or an apt complex?
Think it's on the registered historic buildings list.
I been inside it, I went to orange highschool and it’s hunted trust me
could possibly be, for many it was the last place they went to
OMFG dude you wen't by yourself !
Are you serious?
I don't mean to sound like a wuss but dude If I wen't in there I would have to have somebody with me.
Oh fuck no. Haha
I went there one time right before it closed.
One time i was passing by and something caught my attention on the last floor i saw a ghost figure and i have a photo as a proof
I was born in there
I live In orange
I was born in the hospital 🥺😢😢😢🥺 ! I wish i had the money to buy this place and build a new orange hospital
I was born at this hospital
Who from orange never been in there
Of what value is a video like this? Honestly, its an abandoned complex, so it looks exactly as you would expect. But there's zero in this video about the history of the hospital, what a vital and wonderful asset it was to the community during its long career, and how it came to fall into such a state. Anybody can walk around inside abandoned buildings and say, "whoa, look at this". And no, most of that complex was not built in 1938. The buildings remaining on that site date from 1908, and most of them were built before 1938.
Be careful cuz there is some homeless people living there
I was born here
I was born in this hospital.
I WORK THE AS HOUSEKEEPER FOR 19 yrs. 7mo so I know every place in those buildings. You guess some right and some absolutely wrong. Reach to out to me if you looking the accuracy.
you're lucky you didn't get killed for just being in the neighbor please be safe in that area born and raised there and it is pretty tough watch your back in that hood
thanks for the feedback, definitely will
It’s not that bad 🙄🙄🙄 though I’m sure there’s dangers going into an abandoned building you won’t get killed for stepping into orange
Lol it’s funny how some people that moved out a long time ago think it’s like.....
Lol the amount of people that are scared of orange and easy Orange is funny. I was born in Orange, raised in Bloomfield, and I wouldnt be scared one bit to step foot in Orange. I walk in Newark without a problem at all.
Dangerous to be in the hospital? Possibly yes with squatters and structural damage.
But the actual town? Not really.
If anything, Mechanic Street right down the road from the hospital was in really bad shape with shady people several years ago when the projects was there, but those buildings has since been demolished to accommodate newly built and very nice apartment buildings with upgrades.
When are u going to start wearing Masks exploring these abandoned places❓
I was born thair in 1959
Me too
They killed my sister in November 1998!
