Metropolitan Hospital Medical Center

In 1875, Metropolitan Hospital opened as a municipal facility on Ward’s Island, staffed largely by the faculty of New York Medical College. The relationship, which continues today is among the nation’s oldest continuing affiliations between a private medical school and a public hospital. 

Due to its continued partnership and affiliation with New York Medical College, Metropolitan Hospital is a designated university hospital. Many of the hospital's attending physicians teach medical students and residents the latest in skills and techniques in medicine. Still others are involved in cutting-edge research putting them in the forefront of new developments in medical science. The close supervision of NYMC medical students and residents also ensures that
patients receive the best possible care
found anywhere in NYC.
