New York–Presbyterian Hospital, styled as NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital, is a nonprofit university hospital in New York City affiliated with two Ivy League medical schools: Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College. It is composed of two distinct medical centers, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center. As of August 2016[update], the hospital is ranked 6th in the United States and 1st in the New York City metropolitan area by U.S. News & World Report.[2] The hospital has 2,478 beds in total, and is one of the largest hospitals in the United States.[1] New York–Presbyterian Hospital is among the largest hospitals and largest private employers in New York City[3][4] and one of the world's busiest.

The New York Hospital was founded in 1771 by Edinburgh graduate Samuel Bard. It received a Royal Charter granted by King George III of Great Britain and became associated with Weill Cornell Medical College upon the latter institution's founding in 1898. It is the second oldest hospital in the United States, after Pennsylvania Hospital (1751). But note that this conflicts with the article on Bellevue Hos[ital. which states that it was founded as The City Hospital in 1736.
A 1927 endowment of more than $20 million by Payne Whitney expanded the hospital significantly and the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic is named in his honor. Other prominent donors have included Edward S. Harkness and Anna Harkness,[5] Howard Hughes, William Randolph Hearst, Harry and Leona Helmsley, Maurice R. Greenberg, and the Baker, Whitney, Lasdon, and Payson families.
The Presbyterian Hospital was founded in 1868 by James Lenox, a New York philanthropist and was associated with Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1925 the Sloane Hospital for Women, a leader in obstetrics and gynecology that had been founded in 1886, was incorporated.[6]
New York Hospital was the subject of a lawsuit from the family of Libby Zion, a young woman admitted in 1984 who died while under the care of overworked hospital residents. An investigation by the New York state Health Commissioner, the Bell Commission, led to restrictions on the number of hours residents could work and required oversight of their care by accredited physicians (this regulation is also known as the Libby Zion law). These reforms have since been adopted nationwide.[7]
On January 1, 1998, The New York Hospital announced its merger with The Presbyterian Hospital to create New York–Presbyterian Hospital. New York–Presbyterian Hospital, chartered as The New York and Presbyterian Hospital by the State of New York in 1996, was formed in 1998 with the merger of two large, previously independent hospitals, the New York Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital.
Structure
The NYP system includes a variety of outlying hospitals that had previously been affiliates of NYH or Presbyterian; these hospitals stretch throughout the five boroughs, Westchester County, Long Island and New Jersey.
The hospital, along with Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, runs the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, a network of independent, cooperating, acute-care and community hospitals, continuum-of-care facilities, home-health agencies, ambulatory sites, and specialty institutes in the New York metropolitan area. The two medical schools remain essentially autonomous, though there is increasing cooperation and coordination of clinical, research, and residency training programs. The hospitals have merged administrations, with Herb Pardes, M.D., leading the combined hospitals from 2001 to 2011. Steven Corwin, MD is now the Hospital system CEO.
The institution's six main facilities are:
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Allen Hospital
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Westchester Division, formerly the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, and before that Bloomingdale Insane Asylum
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital

As of 2016, the U.S. News and World Report rankings place NYPH overall as the sixth-best hospital in the United States. Every specialty was ranked in the top 50 by US News, and the following were ranked in the top 10 of hospitals around the country: neurology and neurosurgery (3); gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery (14); cardiology and heart surgery (3); diabetes and endocrinology (5); nephrology (4); geriatrics (7); pulmonology (8); rheumatology (2); urology (6); and psychiatry (3).[8]
New York–Presbyterian Emergency Medical Services
New York–Presbyterian Emergency Medical Services (NYP-EMS) is a hospital-based ambulance service[9] that has operated since 1981. NYP-EMS also operates critical care transport ambulances throughout the New York City Metropolitan Area. The service is licensed to operate in the 5 counties of New York City, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties in New York, and in the state of New Jersey for Basic Life Support and Specialty Care Transport. In addition to providing emergency and non-emergency ambulance services, either through the New York City 911 system on through the NYP-EMS Communications Center at Weill Cornell Medical Center, NYP-EMS provides stand-by EMS services for events throughout the New York City area, including the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the NYC Triathlon.
NYP-EMS is also a New York State Department of Health-approved training center for EMT and Paramedic programs, several of which are approved for college-level credit by the New York State Department of Education. NYP-EMS operates one of the largest American Heart Association Emergency Cardiac Care training centers in New York. NYP-EMS also maintains a Special Operations team trained in hazardous materials decontamination and technical rescue. This team, accompanied by several Weill Cornell Physicians, provided rescue and relief support on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Most recently, the team decontaminated 28 patients after the 2007 New York City steam explosion in Midtown Manhattan on July 18, 2007.
