As an institution of world renown, NYU Langone Medical Center has a long-standing tradition of excellence that was established with the founding of the University Medical College in 1841. This fine tradition continues today and is witnessed through the quality of our groundbreaking research, the superior education provided to a new generation of physicians in training, and the highest caliber of integrated care offered to patients.

The strengths of NYU Langone Medical Center extend far beyond the walls of our School of Medicine, NYU Hospitals Center, and our affiliates: Bellevue Hospital Center, Hospital for Joint Diseases, and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. They include increasingly close ties to New York University itself – a university with such intellectual resources as the Courant Institute of Mathematics, the Center for Neural Science, and the Wagner School of Public Service.

Located in the heart of New York City and adjacent to Bellevue Hospital, NYU Langone Medical Center has access to a more expansive patient base than any institution of its kind. Thus, current NYU physicians and scientists, as well as those in training, have greater exposure to the entire spectrum of disease; increased opportunity to treat patients of every religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic background; and better opportunity to conduct the vital medical research that leads to treatment and cures for the world’s most devastating health concerns. Clinically, NYU Hospitals Center is among the best in the New York metropolitan area. Tisch Hospital recently received “high honors,” with a three-year accreditation and a final score of 92 percent from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the highest score the review team gave to any hospital all year. In its annual evaluation of healthcare institutions, U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks NYU Hospitals in the “top tier” of hospitals in the nation. In the same evaluation, NYU’s Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine has been named the top rehabilitation facility in New York, and one of the top ten in the nation, time and again. In a review of New York’s physicians conducted by New York Magazine, hundreds of NYU’s physicians repeatedly are listed as “best doctors” in the region.
