Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center

For more than 100 years, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center has been most successful in providing quality health care to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. It would be impossible to retell the countless acts of selfless and extraordinary service that generations of hospital employees have demonstrated. Still, the events that make up Bronx-Lebanon's rewarding history reveal a profound story: one of a hospital founded on an unwavering commitment to meet the needs of its community.

In 1962, the Lebanon Hospital (incorporated in 1890) merged with the Bronx Hospital (incorporated in 1909). Just nine years later, the hospital took a significant step towards training the doctors of tomorrow, by becoming an affiliated primary teaching hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. An important event that signaled a new era was the completion of "New Directions" in June, 1987.

Bronx-Lebanon is the largest voluntary, not-for-profit health care system serving the South and Central Bronx, with 965 beds at two major hospital divisions; two specialized long term care facilities, and an extensive BronxCare Network. In 2006, BronxCare provided nearly 1 million outpatient visits, the third largest for a hospital in New York City, further reinforcing Bronx-Lebanon's essential role as Doctor to the Community.

Bronx-Lebanon's two hospital divisions and network outpatient practices are fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, receiving its full three year accreditation in April, 2005. The hospital also has 14 accredited residency and fellowship programs. It is in the Bronx community where we see the importance of fulfilling the hospital's mission of open arms, to heal, to teach, to care. Bronx-Lebanon regularly provides free check-ups and screenings at schools, shelters, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, churches, and many other community organizations.

Numerous outreach programs have also been initiated to educate the community about important health issues, including HealthBeat, Bronx-Lebanon's widely acclaimed weekly live television show, which offers viewers the opportunity to have their questions answered by medical experts. An innovative 51-unit Low Income Housing project for senior citizens, located near Bronx-Lebanon, was also recently completed.
