Street Renamed in Honor of Key Benefactor of Huntington Hospital

Government and hospital leaders celebrated the renaming of a street Thursday to honor the woman whose decision to act helped establish Huntington Hospital.

View Acre Drive will also carry the name Cornelia Prime Way for the resident who in December 1914 decided to purchase the property and fund the construction of the hospital. 

Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci and State Assemblyman Andrew Raia, Councilwoman Joan Cergol and others spoke as both community leaders and users of the hospital’s services in praising Prime’s decision and the quality of care provided since by the hospital, with Lupinacci mentioning that both he and Andrew Raia had been born in the hospital, while Cergol noted that her father had been a surgeon at the hospital.
