Sharon, There was such a hospital in Poughkeepsie NY, on Rt 9 North. I do not recall the exact name, but either check with the NYS Mental Health Dept. in Albany NY, or call Marist College in Poughkeepsie. (Area code 914). Marist is just down the street from the hospital and someone will probably know the name and address. The site was closed as a hospital in the mid-80's and was about 100 years old was closed.
