Шаблон:Infobox hospital

Edgecombe Sanitarium was a private hospital run by African American doctors in Harlem, New York City. It served patients "of considerable means"[1] who did not want to be served at the primarily white staffed Harlem Hospital.

Godfrey Nurse was one of the doctors who founded the hospital. The hospital had twelve beds.[1] It was started as the result of the Harlem Hospital having a primarily white staff.[2]

In 1925, the nearby Booker T. Washington Sanitarium was merged with Edgecombe.[2] In 1929, Edgecombe had treated 249 patients. Through fundraising, the hospital installed an x-ray machine.[3]

Gerri Major was part of its Woman's Auxiliary.
