Presbyterian company history timeline
We’ve grown from a small tuberculosis sanatorium founded in 1908, to a system of nine hospitals, a multi-specialty medical group with more than 900 providers and a statewide health plan.
In 1918, Elizabeth College merged with a school in Virginia and Presbyterian Medical Center used the money it had raised to buy the 20-acre college campus located just outside of the city limits at 200 Hawthorne Lane.
When the Great Depression left Muriel Carbery with few employment options, she devotes herself to nursing and receives her degree from New York Hospital School of Nursing in 1937.
When named director of anesthesiology in 1938, Doctor Apgar is the first female physician in the country to hold such a position.
In 1949, a new affiliation agreement with the university established a three-tiered mission of patient care, research, and education.
In 1956, Doctor George Humphreys performed the institution’s first open heart operation on a child with a congenital heart defect.
Rapid patient growth forces the hospital to move to a Revolutionary-era house, then into a proper home in 1966, when it is renamed Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
Woodham wanted a formal vehicle to raise and accept charitable donations and in 1966 set up the Presbyterian Hospital Center Foundation, our forerunner.
The Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation was incorporated in 1967 and was one of the first 100 hospital foundations in the country.
In 1980, the Elizabeth College building was demolished and a new 119-bed patient tower opened, bringing the total number of beds to 554.
The Center for Special Studies and AIDS Clinical Trials, directed by Doctor Jonathan Jacobs, is established in 1986.
In 1986, the trustees of the hospital entered a shared management agreement with the University’s Medical and Health Care Division, the forerunner of today’s UPMC.
In 1996, Presbyterian Medical Center continued its tradition of being a regional and statewide leader in providing cancer services and hospice care by opening a new Cancer Center.
On January 1, 1998, The New York Hospital publicly announced its full-asset merger with The Presbyterian Hospital to create NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
In early 2001, Presbyterian Medical Center formed the Novant Health Heart & Vascular Institute, which combined the leading-edge cardiac services of the Belk Heart Center with the hospital's neurovascular services.
In 2003, Presbyterian Medical Center celebrated its 100th anniversary of providing care to the residents of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region.
In September 2004, the new Novant Health Women's Center welcomed its first patient.
Supported by a $100 million gift from David Koch, the largest in the hospital’s history, the 750,000-square-foot, world-class ambulatory healthcare facility and outpatient center will offer personalized, integrated care in a technologically sophisticated environment when it opens in 2018.
