Hide Profile

Established in 1886 with a donation to the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S) from the sons of William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885). Opened to patients Jan. 1888 on the P&S campus at Amsterdam Ave. and West 60th St. Besides offering low-cost medical care to the neighborhood, Vanderbilt served as a teaching facility for P&S students.

As part of the agreement of affiliation between Columbia University and Presbyterian Hospital, the University agreed to divest itself of its clinical units and in 1925 Vanderbilt became part of Presbyterian. In 1928 it moved to the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and became the outpatient department of Presbyterian Hospital.
