White Plains Hospital is a general medical and surgical, non-profit hospital located in White Plains, New York. In addition to providing general care to patients, it also operates a number of specialized programs, such as its cancer center. The hospital was founded in 1893 as a four-room hospital. As of 2012, White Plains Hospital treated 170,000 patients annually and is a member of the Montefiore Health System network.[1] The total capacity of the hospital is 292 beds.[2]
History
White Plains Hospital was founded in 1893 before White Plains was incorporated as a city, though after there was an established village of White Plains. The 22 women and 3 men who founded the hospital sought to have medical care that could serve the surrounding community. A four-room building on Chatteron Hill comprised the facilities of the hospital. In its first year of operation, 31 patients were treated.
By 1907, the hospital had constructed a new brick building (that was demolished in 1940) in the location of the present-day emergency room. An additional wing was built in 1924, bringing the total bed capacity to 100.[3]
Beginning at the 120th anniversary of the founding of White Plains Hospital, a major modernization and expansion project was undertaken. New facilities have been constructed to both increase the medical capabilities of the hospital and renovate its aesthetic qualities. A six-story tower was built that includes private rooms while operating rooms were updated with newer capabilities. Additionally, the hospital constructed a second cardiac catheterization lab and labor, delivery, and maternity units. The cancer center was expanded to double its size as well.[4][5]
