  Emanuel Unity Hospital was a hospital in Brooklyn; it is now defunct. It originated as Emanuel Hospital and Unity Hospital. By the 1970s it was referred to locally as Unity Hospital.
  
  ## History
  
  The same local hospital that attempted to swallow up Emanuel Hospital in 1899 was, in 1978, battling them for its own survival. The latter situation resulted in a compromise: for then, Unity would "keep its methadone maintenance drug program and its outpatient services open, both of which will be run by Jewish Hospital." By 1989 Jewish also lost a battle for survival.
  
  Unity Hospital's 1545 St. Johns Place building, once the hospital closed, became an apartment building.
