This East Side landmark is the oldest public hospital in the United States; established in 1736, it serves as the main teaching hospital of the NYU School of Medicine, and has been a leader in the evolution of medical care since its inception. The first maternity ward, the first ambulance service, the first ER, the first ICU in a municipal hospital…if you're a visitor to our fair city, we hope you won't need to visit Bellevue, but know that you'll receive the finest care if you do.
