What the evidence establishes

CLAIM 01

After the August 21, 2013 ceremony, Carter received its first patients during the November 24–25 transfer of 228 Goldwater patients; Goldwater’s last patient left November 25.

Scope: Roosevelt Island and Harlem, Manhattan · 2013-08-21 – 2013-11-25

Assessment: SUPPORTED

The contemporaneous operator release and later utilization note explicitly agree on the first-patient and last-transfer dates. The earlier ceremony is separate. Less precise December opening/closure accounts do not change the detailed transfer finding.

Review status: SOURCE_CHECKED_AI_REVIEW. This is not an independently certified universal verdict.

What is not established: The two primary accounts share an institutional origin. No individual transfer log or formal decommissioning order was inspected; December descriptions remain unresolved and no clinical success outcome is claimed.

Limits and open questions

The two primary accounts share an institutional origin. No individual transfer log or formal decommissioning order was inspected; December descriptions remain unresolved and no clinical success outcome is claimed.

December opening and December 31 closure descriptions coexist with explicit November 24–25 patient records. Administrative closure and detailed transfer are not assumed identical.
