NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester (formerly NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital,[1] and Lawrence Hospital Center before that) is a division of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, located in Bronxville, New York. It is a 288-bed general hospital providing inpatient and outpatient care primarily to residents of southern Westchester County. It is a designated Primary Stroke Center and a Level II Perinatal Center .[2]

The hospital annually treats about 42,000 patients in its emergency department and delivers around 1,300 babies.[3] It provides access to primary care physicians and specialists from ColumbiaDoctors, the faculty practice of Columbia University Medical Center, and NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Westchester, a multi-specialty physician practice.

## History

[edit]

The hospital was founded in 1909 as Lawrence Hospital by prominent businessman William Van Duzer Lawrence, who recognized the need for a community hospital after his son fell ill with appendicitis and had to be transported to New York City.

In 2005, Lawrence Hospital Center became an affiliate member of the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, and in 2014 it entered into a formal partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital which resulted in the hospital being renamed NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital.[4] Groundbreaking of a two-story, 40,000 sq. ft. cancer and surgery center occurred on June 18, 2013, whose construction cost $65 million.[5] The center opened on November 21, 2016.[6] The hospital was fully acquired by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 2018.[7]
