NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital was founded in 1771 asNew York HospitalbyEdinburgh Medical SchoolgraduateSamuel Bard.The hospital was granted aRoyal Chartergranted by KingGeorge III of Great Britainand became associated withWeill Cornell Medical Collegeupon Weill Cornell's founding in 1898. It is the third oldest hospital in the United States, afterBellevue Hospitalin New York City (1736) andPennsylvania Hospital(1751).

In 1927, the hospital had grown itsendowmentto more than $20 million, largely due to the leadership ofPayne Whitneywho expanded the hospital significantly;Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinicis named in Whitney's honor. Other prominent donors have includedHoward Hughes,William Randolph Hearst,Harry andLeona Helmsley,Maurice R. Greenberg,and others. ThePresbyterian Hospitalwas founded in 1868 byJames Lenox,a New York philanthropist andColumbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons,also founded by Samuel Bard in 1767.

20th century

[edit]

In 1910, Columbia University and Presbyterian Hospital reached an agreement to affiliate, forming the world's firstacademic health centerthrough the merger of existing institutions.[7]During the 1920s,Edward S. HarknessandAnna Harkness[8]purchased land and funded the construction of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. In 1928, the two institutions fully moved to the new medical center.[9]In 1925, theSloane Hospital for Women,a leader inobstetricsandgynecologythat had been founded in 1886, was incorporated.[10]In 1928, Sloan, along with The Squier Urological Clinic and the Vanderbilt Clinic, moved to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.[9]

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 overworkedhospital residents.An investigation by the New York State Health Commissioner, the Bell Commission, led torestrictions on the number of hours residents could workand required oversight of their care by accredited physicians (this regulation is also known as theLibby Zion law). These reforms have since been adopted nationwide.[11]NewYork-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. The merger had been announced on January 1, 1998.

21st century

[edit]

In the 2010s, the hospital began to supplement its physical presence with remote and online services. Atelemedicineservice allows patients to receive follow-up care remotely, aCAT-equipped ambulance (see below NYP-EMS) allows stroke care to take place outside the hospital, and a remote second opinion program uses Grand Rounds technology.[12]

COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]

During the initial phaseCOVID-19 pandemic,the hospital was at the center of the country's response to the virus in the spring of 2020. The hospital was able to triple its ICU bed capacity and ventilator support. During the crisis, teams at the hospital pioneered techniques to assist two patients with one ventilator[13]and shared this around the country. The hospital turnedBaker FieldandColumbia Soccer Stadiuminto a 288-bedfield hospitalin under two weeks.[14][15]

As was the case at many hospitals in the U.S., clinicians volunteered to help understaffed units. Over 1,000 people volunteered at the hospital, including teams fromUniversity of Rochester Medical Center,UCSF Medical Center,Cayuga Medical Center,Mayo Clinic,Cleveland Clinic,University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,UAMS Medical Center,Intermountain Medical Center,andDartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center.[citation needed]In November 2020, with cases surging inUtah,a team of 31 nurses and staff from the hospital traveled to offer support to Utah.[16]

On October 13, 2020, with a gift fromRay Dalio,NYP launched the Dalio Center for Health Justice, a research and advocacy organization, which will focus on reducing differences in access to quality health care that overwhelmingly affect communities of color.[17]

Police Chief RaShall Brackney was quoted in an official statement:[26][27][28]

Frontline healthcare professionals and first responders are not immune to the mental or physical effects of the current pandemic. On a daily basis, these professionals operate under the most stressful of circumstances, and the Coronavirus has introduced additional stressors. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can reduce the likelihood of being infected, but what they cannot protect heroes like Dr. Lorna Breen, or our first responders against is the emotional and mental devastation caused by this disease.
