Mission

Save ellis island is a non-profit formed by the governor of new jersey to partner with the national park service at the statue of liberty national monument and ellis island, for the restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation of the unrestored public health hospital on the south side of ellis island. After being closed for over 60 years, save ellis island opened select buildings of the unrestored hospital in 2014 for tours and education programs fulfilling its mission to reuse the buildings for a new and exciting purpose. The organization continues the work to rehabilitate, restore and preserve the hospital buildings for this and future generations. With our partners at the national park service, save ellis island ensures our national story continues to be told. The buildings hold countless lessons to be learned from our shared history of immigration and public health and will help to pave a future toward compassionate care for each other.
