The new facility was renamed Cumberland Hospital in 1922. Later locations for Cumberland include 35 (1953) and then 39 (1962) Auburn Place. Subsequent to closing as a hospital on August 24, 1983, it became an outpatient clinic called Neighborhood Family Care Center. The day after their 1983 closing the city began a free shuttle bus service from Cumberland to Woodhull Hospital, then-described as "one of the most modern and expensive hospitals in the world." They have since renamed it to the Cumberland Diagnostic Treatment Center, located at 100 North Portland Avenue, serving as one of the clinics that are part of Brooklyn Hospital Center, with which they already had an affiliation.

In 1916, Cornelia Chase Brant became one of the first women to be appointed to the staff of a public hospital in New York City when she assumed a position at Cumberland.
