NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases has a distinguished tradition of medical innovation. Since 1905 our physicians have pioneered a range of treatments that have improved the lives of people with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. NYU Medical Center and the Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD) share a rich history, spanning HJD’s academic affiliation with the NYU School of Medicine in 1986, its clinical association with the Medical Center in 1994, the fusion of the two orthopaedic departments in 1997, and the integration of the rheumatology programs in 2001. On January 1, 2006, NYU Medical Center and HJD merged with HJD becoming NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases.
