Montefiore Medical Center
The Montefiore health system serves the 1.3 million residents of the Bronx, neighbors in nearby Westchester County and persons referred from across the nation and around the world. Accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, it offers preventive, primary, specialty, acute and long-term care.
At the center of the Montefiore system are three hospitals: the 706-bed Henry and Lucy Moses Division in the northwest Bronx; the 356-bed Jack D. Weiler Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the east Bronx; and the new Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (also located at the Moses Division), a spectacular center of pediatric care, which anchors an extensive network of community-based children’s services.
 Together, Montefiore’s hospitals provide 52,500 inpatient stays annually plus more than 4,000 births. Nearly 2 million outpatients are seen annually in the medical center’s emergency rooms, hospital-based outpatient department and primary and specialty care sites in the Bronx and Westchester County.
In addition, Montefiore operates one of the largest hospital-based home health agencies in the nation, which makes more than 400,000 annual visits. Rehabilitation care is provided at the newly renovated 22-bed Lubin Rehabilitation Center at the Weiler Division. A Palliative Care Service meets the special needs of patients with advanced and often incurable illnesses.
