History

Located in Norwood, Montefiore Medical Center was founded in 1884 "by leaders of New York’s Jewish community" as the Home for Chronic Invalids, housing mainly tuberculosis patients. It was named in honor of Moses Montefiore. Montefiore Medical Center established the United States' first hospital departments of social medicine and home health care. In 2001, it established a new pediatric hospital, the Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM). This hospital made international headlines when a series of surgeries successfully separated the conjoined twins Carl and Clarence Aguirre of the Philippines. Montefiore Headache Center, the oldest headache center in the world, was ranked number one among New York Best Hospitals in 2006 by New York Magazine. The Emergency Department at Montefiore Medical Center is among the top five busiest in the United States. The hospital provides more than 85,000 inpatient stays per year, including more than 7,000 births. In 2007, it was among over 530 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. On September 9, 2015, Montefiore assumed operational and financial control of Albert Einstein College of Medicine from Yeshiva University.
