Edgewater Hospital closed in 2001, but the hospital still saw dozens of people come and go. Some of the many visitors were Urban Explorers who photographed the abandoned hospital during the 15 years it sat idle. One person actually went to the abandoned Edgewater Hospital to receive treatment. Much to his surprise -- he found it.
