NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is a prominent university hospital in New York City, composed of two medical centers, Columbia University Medical Center and the Cornell University Weill Medical Center.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital was formed in 1998 with the merger of two large, previously independent hospitals, the New York Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital 1 . The NYPH system includes a variety of outlying hospitals that had previously been acquired by NYH or Presbyterian; these hospitals stretch throughout the five boroughs, Westchester County, Long Island and New Jersey. NYPH is now the largest private employer in New York City.
The two medical schools remain essentially autonomous, though there is increasing cooperation and coordination of clinical, research, and residency training programs. The hospitals, themselves, have merged administrations, with Herb Pardes, M.D., having led the hospital system since the merger.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is one of the most comprehensive university hospitals in the world, with leading specialists in every field of medicine.
The institution's five main facilities are:
- NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center
- NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical Center
- The Allen Pavilion
- Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian
- NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Westchester Division
