Montefiore Health System is an academic health system founded in 1884, operating 10 hospitals and more than 200 outpatient ambulatory care sites across the Bronx and Westchester County, New York. It serves as the University Hospital for Albert Einstein College of Medicine, integrating clinical care, medical education, and biomedical research under a single system. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks Montefiore among the top hospitals nationally and regionally.
The system's clinical operations span acute inpatient care and a broad ambulatory network, supporting a wide range of medical specialties across its service area. Its research arm conducts clinical trials and pioneering investigations that contribute to new treatments and medical discovery. Montefiore also runs residency and other training programs that develop the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Community health is a defined part of Montefiore's operating model, with programs designed to address health needs across the diverse populations it serves in the Bronx and Westchester. The system's stated mission - to heal, teach, discover, and advance community health - reflects the four pillars that shape its institutional priorities: patient care, education, research, and community service.
