St. Joseph's Medical Center is one of the largest medical facilities in Westchester County of New York. The system includes a 194-bed teaching hospital, a 200-bed nursing home, two affordable senior housing facilities for frail elderly residents, a family medicine residency program, a podiatric surgery residency program, state-of-the-art technology, a 138-bed psychiatric hospital (St. Vincent's Hospital Westchester in Harrison) and satellite clinics in Yonkers, White Plains, Port Chester, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
It was founded in 1888 as St. Joseph's Hospital by the Sisters of Charity of New York. Thomas Cornell was active in the establishment of the hospital.[2]
In 1976, the hospital opened the St. Joseph's Hospital Nursing Home/Sister Mary Linehan Pavilion to provide nursing care to the elderly. In 2010, it assumed responsibility for St. Vincent's Hospital Westchester, when that institution's parent, the famed St. Vincent's Hospital of Manhattan, closed. 40°55′46″N 73°53′52″W / 40.92944°N 73.89778°W
