Bellevue Hospital Center, a member of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), today
hosted a reception in honor of its 275th Anniversary. The oldest continuously operating hospital in
America, Bellevue traces its roots back to 1736, when a six-bed infirmary opened on the second floor
of an almshouse located on the present day site of City Hall.
Throughout its history Bellevue has been a center for medical and mental health innovations, and
today it is a widely-recognized institution that provides comprehensive patient care to hundreds of
thousands of New Yorkers every year.
