Bellevue (New York hospital)

    0.06 sec.

Bellevue

Municipal hospital complex in New York City, between First Avenue and the East River, lower Midtown Manhattan. Bellevue has been a pioneer in many areas, including ambulance service, scientific laboratories, and the training of nurses, and is now affiliated with New York University.

The successor to institutions dating to the 1730s, it is regarded as the oldest general hospital in North America. Despite its many achievements, it is often popularly associated with stories of incarceration in its psychiatric wards.
