Exploring an Abandoned Hospital in Upstate New York - Found Surgical Equipment

After discovering a major lack of quality in medical care available in the Upstate New York area, Edwin McClellan took it into his own hands to fund and build a state-of-the-art facility in the region. In 1923, Mary McClellan hospital officially opened its doors to the public. The hospital struggled to maintain funding that would allow for the advancements necessary to stay up to date with other medical facilities in the area. In 2003 it's doors closed for good, and what remains now is an abandoned and decaying complex of buildings hidden within the trees.

I worked there from 1996-1998, my first job after graduating from Russel Sage College with BS in PT. I treated patients in the acute care rooms, the nursing home, and the outpatient PT department. Very friendly staff in that hospital. It was a good place to work.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Beautiful place, definitely can feel the sad energy radiating throughout the buildings

[@jeredbrown5663]

I worked here in 2003. I finished college in TX and married a NY woman who wanted to return to NY. We both got jobs at MMH. She was PT. I was in IT. Driving up the winding mountain road has a totally weird Steven King feel. All you can see is: pine trees on the left and pine trees on the right, and the pavement is only 1 car width wide. How do cars get down? I wondered. One time, after a fresh snowfall, I heard pine trees breaking under the added weight. It sounded like lumber being snapped -by some invisible upstate NY monster. I was fired for arguing with my boss about the importance of getting radiologists to work for MMH -probably the last firing before everyone was laid off. Sad. I'd like to get back in touch with a few people I met there. Some of the IT people. the SWer from PSU, the lab manager, a couple of the business people.

Crazy how recently abandoned it was

[@TheLukeExplores]

Wicked how it looks with everything intact

[@srtaddict275]

I just went there cops came and told us to leave it was fun though

[@TheLukeExplores]

They just asked you to leave?

[@TheMsottaviano]

Crazy… they have always arrested those who got caught there.

[@vickydangelo6395]

So cool!!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thank you hon!!

[@christinakeller5931]

My daughter was one of the last babies born there before they shut down the maternity floor

[@TheLukeExplores]

That’s mental- hard to believe this place has only been closed for a number of years

[@jeredbrown5663]

The very last baby was the son of my co-worker -a nurse who worked there until MMH closed. I worked in the IT dept with her. She is a Cambridge lady, and I dont want to out her, but I was very fond of her. The end of the hospital was pretty sad. They were making a smidge of money on SNF, and a smidge of money on mammograms. When the group of radiologists decided to stop reading mammograms, they tried to find another radiology group to step in. Only one group was interested. They didn't bite. For the record, the head of IT was an idiot. Leadership drove this place into the ground. It's a shame.

Thank you for your super committed support!

I was born in this hospital along with 2 of my siblings

[@TheLukeExplores]

That’s gotta be so weird to see it in this condition!!

[@danieldiblasi6891]

same here! i was born there in 1998

[@user-zb9uw2hk5i]

I worked there from 86-88 . It's haunted. Especially the west wing

[@TheLukeExplores]

That’s awesome, must really bring back memories seeing the hospital in this state. I could only imagine!!

[@user-zb9uw2hk5i]

@@TheLukeExplores There are rumors of tunnels under the hospital. I worked the night shift and was always told that.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Like “secret” tunnels? I’ve only been twice and I never thought to look for any

[@TheLukeExplores]

Bro I might go here again tonight. Glad you enjoyed, this would be an awesome place to do an investigation.

[@PeterMiller-pl3jx]

Been thru there multiple times, Wicked cool…. And creepy

[@TheLukeExplores]

For those that believe in paranormal- they say it’s haunted in the west wing I believe. Now idk abt all that but I will say that I think I need to go and refilm it- I could definitely up the quality a few levels to say the least. Hope you enjoyed 💯💯

[@joshpowell3557]

this is sick

[@TheLukeExplores]

Appreciate it bro!

[@katrinas5714]

how can i find where this is?

[@TheLukeExplores]

Message me on IG!

[@jeredbrown5663]

The address was 1 myrtle in Cambridge NY

[@isaacmiller1943]

I’ve been up there multiple times. You can climb out on the roof of all those buildings, there are lots of soft spots though

[@TheLukeExplores]

I’ve been twice, definitely need to be careful- I’ve heard someone nearly fell through one of those soft spots

[@TheMsottaviano]

I actually bought a home around the corner from the road’s entrance and would LOVE to get up there but I’m a bit chicken with all the signs and camera threats. Is there an ummmmmm better way to get to the property?

[@TheLukeExplores]

Send me a message on IG, I’d love to talk with you about this further!

If this wasn't so far away I'd love to do a investigation

[@TheLukeExplores]

Definitely worth it if your in the area, really would be the perfect spot to investigate. Each house is so different and holds an entirely different vibe

[@TheMsottaviano]

I live around the corner and it’s watched pretty close by the locals as well as police.

[@TheMsottaviano]

I wanna get up there myself 😅

I like how he says that it was built in 1919 and is over a decade old…. Pretty sure he meant century

[@TheLukeExplores]

Hey being only the second or third video where I did voiceovers I think I get to call that my rookie mistake 😂😂 also- how is it this video has 4k views now and you are the ONLY PERSON who noticed that. HOW 😂

[@isaacmiller1943]

@@TheLukeExplores yeah, that’s funny, most people are probably caught up in the great drone footage you’ve got going on. Great video overall man. I’ve been up there several times, been through all the buildings too to bottom.

[@TheLukeExplores]

@@isaacmiller1943that means a lot man, I really appreciate that. I think it’s abt time I do a part 2 on this place- I think I could up the quality a notch abt year later 😉

[@zachgetsguap7846]

its easy to get caught here or no

[@TheLukeExplores]

As long as you’re careful and quiet- no

[@TheMsottaviano]

It’s a lot easier to get caught then he’s experienced. I live around the corner and people get caught and arrested quite frequently for going up there as it’s owned property now, and was then. There’s constant rounds for the police, the locals themselves, as well as cameras all over the property that has caught people. I wish it were this easy to go explore there trust me💯💯💯💯💯

[@TheLukeExplores]

I’ve been back ever since, and trust me- if you know how to do it right then your chances of getting caught are much much less. I don’t doubt it’s difficult, but I’ve been multiple times and personally know people that have gone and not gotten caught recently. I just commented to your other comment but definitely send me a message for on instagram for sure!!

[@cywogt]

@@TheMsottaviano are there still cameras?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Surprisingly little graffiti!

[@TheLukeExplores]

not really, they keep a very close eye on that whole property
