Tisch Hospital

Founded in 1882, Tisch Hospital is a leading teaching facility and referral center, and the principal hub of patient care at NYU Medical Center. Approximately 30,000 patients are admitted to the hospital each year. A 726-bed, acute-care facility, Tisch has established itself as a major center for innovative procedures in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease, cancer, brain injury and neurological disorders, dysautonomia, and other complex disease processes. It also is a leader in reconstructive surgery, transplantation, in vitro fertilization, and orthopedic care, to name a few. Rusk Institute

Founded in 1948, Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine is the world's first facility devoted exclusively to rehabilitation medicine. Today, Rusk Institute, a 152-bed facility, continues to set the standard for the treatment of the physically impaired. It is the world's largest university-based center for the care and training of disabled children and adults, as well as for research in rehabilitation medicine. Because of the proximity and the close working relationships that have developed between the healthcare providers of Rusk and Tisch, the continuity of care is virtually seamless.
