Brewster Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Brewster Hospital served African-Americans in Jacksonville, Florida from 1901 to 1966. The hospital was found because the healthcare facilities in Jacksonville and surrounding areas denied treatment to African-Americans until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Faced with competition from previously segregated facilities, Brewster Hospital was closed in 1966. The original Brewster Hospital building was recently moved and is being preserved.
