** Overview **
Greenwich Hospital is a 174-bed community hospital, serving lower Fairfield County Connecticut and Westchester County New York. It is a major academic affiliate of Yale University School of Medicine and a member of the Yale New Haven Health System.
Since opening in 1903, Greenwich Hospital has evolved into a progressive medical center and teaching institution with an internal medicine residency.
We represent all medical specialties and offer a wide range of medical, surgical, diagnostic and wellness programs. High quality of care, coupled with Greenwich Hospital's convenient location, are reasons many patients choose to be treated here. (Please visit the Medical Services section in this web site for more information on services related to specific medical specialties.)
In the fall of 2005, Greenwich Hospital completed construction on its main campus with the opening of the Thomas and Olive C. Watson Pavilion. Combined with the Helmsley Medical Building, which opened in 1999, the state-of-the-art facility is a model in advanced healthcare design. The new Greenwich Hospital [view campus map] offers far more comfort and convenience for patients and visitors—and greater efficiency for our staff. In the Sherman and Gloria H. Cohen Pavilion, across the street on Lafayette Place, is the Bendheim Cancer Center, a comprehensive Breast Center, and convenient parking for outpatients. Greenwich Hospital also has an Endoscopy Center at 500 W. Putnam Ave., and a Healthy Living Center and IVF services at 55 Holly Hill Lane. On the Stamford-Greenwich border at 2015 W. Main Street are our Diagnostic Center and our community wellness department, Community Health at Greenwich Hospital.
History Of Greenwich Hospital
** Formation of Greenwich Hospital **
The Greenwich Hospital Association (GHA) dates from a meeting in a Methodist chapel on March 2, 1903. The meeting was called to arouse a wider interest in building a hospital in the heart of the borough. Presiding was A. Foster Higgins, a founder of the Greenwich Gas & Electric Lighting Company, who became one of the hospital’s first five incorporators. The other four, all of whom signed on that night, were prominent local citizens: Edward Brush, William Hall, Herbert B. Stevens and George Lauder.
