For more than a century, NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester has delivered exceptional, comprehensive care close to home. The hospital was founded in 1909 by William Van Duzer Lawrence, who recognized the need for a strong community hospital when his son fell ill with appendicitis and had to be transported by baggage car to New York City. Following his son’s complete recovery, Lawrence purchased the land and donated the funds to build the hospital now known as NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester.
Today, the hospital continues to grow its footprint in the community, enhance its high-quality care, and expand healthcare services throughout the region. NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester provides access to primary care physicians and specialists from ColumbiaDoctors—the faculty practice of Columbia University Irving Medical Center—and NewYork Presbyterian Medical Group Westchester.
