History
Pilgrim State Hospital was created by the Legislature in 1929. It was named for Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, Commissioner of Mental Health in the early 1900s. The hospital opened for the care and treatment of patients on 825 acres with 100 patients on October 1, 1931. Nine months later, 2,018 patients were hospitalized at Pilgrim. The census rose to its peak in 1954, with 13,875 patients.
Pilgrim was the largest facility of its kind in the world when it was built. The hospital was an independent community that included its own:
electric and heating plants
sewage system
fire and police departments
courts
church
post office
cemetery
athletic fields
greenhouse
Over time, as more patients were discharged and greater support and services became available in the community, there wasn't a need for such large facilities.
Following the trend, Kings Park Psychiatric Center and Central Islip Psychiatric Center were consolidated and relocated to the Pilgrim campus in the Fall of 1996. The following Fall, those facilities were merged into Pilgrim Psychiatric Center under one name.
Pilgrim Today
Pilgrim PC provides a continuum of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services. The campus includes several residential agencies including:
Central Nassau Guidance Center and Transitional Services

Pilgrim operates four outpatient treatment centers and one ACT Team throughout Suffolk County.
Inpatient Services offer a wide variety of treatment options within two modern complexes. Treatment focus:
Rapid recovery with symptom reduction
Programs that develop skills to manage psychiatric illness and better function in the community
Active discharge planning and support for individuals returning to community living
