During the terminal's construction, an "accident room" was set up to treat worker injuries in a wrecking car in the terminal's rail yard. Later on, a small hospital was established in the temporary station building on Lexington Avenue to care for injured workers. The arrangement was satisfactory, leading to the creation of a permanent hospital, the Grand Central Emergency Hospital, in Grand Central Terminal in 1911. The hospital was used for every employee injury as well as for passengers. In 1915, it had two physicians who treated a monthly average of 125 new cases per month and 450 dressings.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Developments at the Grand Central Terminal in New York|magazine=Railway Review|volume=57|number=8|page=231|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jAVCAQAAIAAJ|date=August 21, 1915|access-date=February 9, 2019|archive-date=January 24, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240124054717/https://books.google.com/books?id=jAVCAQAAIAAJ|url-status=live}}</ref> The space had four rooms: Room A (the waiting room), Room B (the operating room), Room C (a private office), and Room D (for resting patients).<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Grand Central Emergency Hospital|magazine=Railroad Men|volume=25|number=9|pages=268–9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Cyc0e1whX1QC|date=June 1912|access-date=February 9, 2019|archive-date=January 24, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240124054732/https://books.google.com/books?id=Cyc0e1whX1QC|url-status=live}}</ref> The hospital was open at least until 1963; a ''[[The Journal News|Journal News]]'' article that year noted that the hospital treated minor to moderate ailments and was open every day between 8&nbsp;a.m. and 5&nbsp;p.m.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Journal News|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/28344493/|title=Grand Central Terminal Builds Legend During its 50 Years|date=November 13, 1963|access-date=February 9, 2019|page=21|via=newspapers.com|archive-date=January 24, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240124055231/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-journal-news-grand-central-terminal/28344493/|url-status=live}}</ref>
