Bellevue Hospital Medical Center

Bellevue Hospital was established over 250 years ago and is regarded as the "flagship" hospital of New York City's municipal hospital system. Its roots can be traced back to 1736 when it was known as the Almshouse, an infirmary established to care for the city's poor. NYU School of Medicine students and resident physicians have been at Bellevue Hospital since 1847.

All of Bellevue's medical services are now provided in a 21-story building opened in 1975. A new state of the art ambulatory care center is under construction and scheduled to be completed by 2004. The hospital has 1,232 beds and is designed to provide the highest quality medical care for the people of New York as well as an academic environment for the training and development of students, residents, and research scientists.

The Otolaryngology Department maintains extensive facilities on the fifth floor in Bellevue Hospital. These include adult and pediatric clinics, the hearing and speech clinics, the temporal bone laboratory, the vestibular testing laboratory, the Shannon Library and conference room, and administrative offices. The Shannon Library has recently been extensively remodeled and contains the department's audio-visual resource center.
