St. Luke's-Roosevelt
Hospital Center, University Hospital of Columbia University College
of Physicians and Surgeons, is a 1,076-bed, full-service community
and tertiary care hospital. St. Luke's-Roosevelt was formed in 1979
by a merger of St. Luke's Hospital, adjacent to the campus of Columbia
University, and The Roosevelt Hospital, located two blocks west
of Columbus Circle. The St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals, established
in 1846 and 1871, respectively, brought to their merger extraordinary
records of medical ³firsts² and commitment to their patients.
St. Luke's-Roosevelt
also is widely respected for high quality clinical care and for
its contributions to research. Throughout its history St. Luke's-Roosevelt
also has placed strong emphasis on responding with compassion and
sensitivity to the unique needs of the communities it serves, including
areas whose residents have multiple social and economic challenges.
The Hospital Center's ability to serve these populations is enhanced
through relationships with groups including the William F. Ryan
Community Health Center and the Council Health Center, as well as
through school-based clinics at area high schools. St. Luke's-Roosevelt
initiates and supports a wide range of community health-focused
activities and maintains an extensive network of relationships with
churches and community groups throughout the West Side and Upper
Manhattan.
