Bellevue Hospital – One of the oldest public hospitals in the U.S., Bellevue has been serving patients regardless of ability to pay since 1736. With more than 750 beds, six Intensive Care Units, and a world-renowned Emergency Service and Trauma Center, Bellevue today is a major NYC provider of healthcare, both acute and long-term. A tertiary municipal hospital and part of the South Manhattan Healthcare Network of the Health and Hospitals Corporation, Bellevue is also the primary teaching hospital of the NYUSM and an integral component of the NYU Medical Center Residency Programs. Bellevue occupies a 25-story patient-care facility built in 1975 at First Avenue and 27th Street in Manhattan. It has an attending physician staff of 1,200 and a house staff of more than 500 residents and interns. Each year the hospital treats some 27,000 inpatients. It also handles about 89,000 Emergency Service visits as well as 500,000 outpatient visits in more than 90 adult and pediatric ambulatory care clinics. Only 12% of these ambulatory patients are white. Bellevue's new Intensive Care Pavilion, one of the largest in the nation, opened in 2004 on the 10th floor of the Hospital Center. A state-of-the-art 208,000-square-foot Ambulatory Care Pavilion, designed by I.M. Pei, recently opened in front of the old Bellevue Administration Building on First Avenue.

Coney Island Hospital - From its beginnings in the late 19th century as a first-aid station for summer beach goers, Coney Island Hospital has grown into a multi-site community medical center serving southern Brooklyn. The healthcare needs of the community are as diverse as Coney Island's patient population and benefit from the hospital's patient-centered focus. Coney Island has been recognized for its expertise in treating the high incidence of thyroid cancers among the Ukrainian and Russian survivors of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident. The hospital also has aggressively reached out to the Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian communities with its Healthy Heart Program, when it was found that these populations are four times as likely as Caucasians or other Asian populations to be diagnosed with early onset Coronary Artery Disease. Coney Island also was selected as one of only two hospitals statewide to receive IPRO's annual Quality Award for excellence in the care of patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), heart failure and pneumonia. IPRO is the health care quality review organization that oversees Medicaid and Medicare quality control throughout New York State.
