Magnet® Excellence
In 1889, to meet the healthcare needs of the community in Peekskill, New York, a small group of community-minded women opened the Helping Hand Hospital. As the community grew, the hospital moved to a new site in 1966, in nearby Cortland Manor, New York. This new facility, Peekskill Community Hospital, opened with 114 beds. In 1992, the hospital expanded the emergency department and added a new laboratory, operating rooms, and an ambulatory surgery suite. The hospital also took a new name, Hudson Valley Hospital Center, to better reflect its presence as a regional healthcare provider in the Hudson Valley area.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center became part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Enterprise in 2015 and was proudly renamed the NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, a fully accredited, general, not-for-profit 128- licensed bed hospital that offers a wide range of inpatient and ambulatory care services.
In addition to its’ designation as a Magnet facility (2007), and two consecutive Magnet designations (2012, 2016), NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital has been recognized by numerous regional and national accreditation organizations for outstanding outcomes.
