To provide the highest quality patient care, with compassion and with concern for patient well-being.

Description and/or History:
Founded before the turn of the 20th century on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Beth Israel was originally dedicated to serving vulnerable populations in that community. More than a century later, Beth Israel serves individuals and families from all walks
of life through two tertiary care, inpatient facilities (1,106 certified beds at the Petrie Division in Manhattan and the Kings Highway Division in Brooklyn), as well as through a vast network of ambulatory sites and physician practice settings. With world class specialists in areas including heart disease, cancer, neurology, orthopedics, minimally invasive surgery, women’s health, psychiatry and pain medicine and palliative care, Beth Israel is widely known for combining medical excellence with clinically
innovative programs. As University Hospital and
the Manhattan Campus for the Albert Einstein College
of Medicine, Beth Israel remains steadfast in its
commitment to the training and education of the clinical leaders of tomorrow.
