NewYork Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, frequently referred to as Hudson Hospital or simply HVHC, is an accredited non-profit hospital with 350 physicians and 1,300 employees in Cortlandt Manor, New York.[1]

History

Hudson was first founded in 1889 by the Helping Hands Association in the City of Peekskill after a group of community minded women raised $1,800 to purchase property on lower South Street.[2]

The hospital was known as the Helping Hand Hospital until 1911 when it was incorporated as Peekskill Hospital. In 1966, the hospital moved to its current location in Cortlandt Manor. It was renamed Hudson Valley Hospital in 1992 to reflect its high quality and expanded status as a regional facility.

The hospital expanded in 2014 to include a Cancer Center and Emergency Department, among other additions to the infrastructure.[3] Also in 2014 “The Hudson Valley Hospital Center Board of Directors has voted unanimously to pursue an affiliation with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital" and solidified this relationship with a new name the following year of NewYork Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital.

Specialties & Awards

HVHC plays a significant role in women's healthcare, leveraging 3-D mammography technology for breast imaging; HVHC is also the only hospital in the region to earn "Baby Friendly" status from the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative.[4]
