Pediatrics at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital provides children's health services at two major centers: NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, located at 168th Street and Broadway, and the Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health, located at 68th Street and the East River and was just named to the 2009 U.S.News & World Report "America's Best Children's Hospitals" Honor Roll.
NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art pediatric care. With 100 medical/surgical beds and 91 ICU beds (41 pediatric and 50 neonatal), it is one of the largest children's hospitals in the country. The structural design and function of this 265,000-foot, 10-story hospital is guided by the fundamental mission of giving precedence to the emotional, social, and developmental needs of ill children and their families.
The Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health, with 30 medical/surgical beds and 70 ICU beds (20 pediatric and 50 neonatal), provides comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Recent and ongoing renovations throughout the hospital advance the care of children in a developmentally sensitive and family-centered atmosphere.
Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian
Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital combines the expertise and resources of two leading academic departments, Weill Cornell Medical College and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and is currently ranked as one of the top psychiatry programs in the nation by USNews and World Report.
The Weill Cornell Department of Psychiatry provides a vast array of psychiatric programs and services at Payne Whitney Manhattan (PWM) and Payne Whitney Westchester (PWW). Payne Whitney Manhattan, formerly the Payne Whitney Clinic, began in 1932 in a freestanding building overlooking the East River at 68th Street and now provides comprehensive outpatient, consultation, and inpatient services within the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. PWW, located on a beautifully landscaped 214-acre campus in White Plains, New York, has provided psychiatric care since 1894. Collectively, these institutions make up the largest private, university-based clinical psychiatric program in the United States and have a long and distinguished history of service and research.
Adult Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia consists of a wide array of inpatient and outpatient services. In addition to two psychiatry inpatient units, Adult Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia provides an outstanding consultation-liaison service for patients hospitalized on medical and surgical floors. Community-based outpatient subspecialty clinics provide a full range of diagnosis-specific treatment modalities. The Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) and a mobile crisis unit with three subdivisions (homeless outreach, homebound elderly, and short-term crisis intervention) provide urgent psychiatric care to a varied population with diverse needs.
Pediatric Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian
Pediatric psychiatry services at PWM and PWW include a wide array of inpatient and outpatient services. Specialized inpatient services include dedicated child and adolescent inpatient services at PWW, an adolescent service on a mixed adolescent/adult inpatient unit at PWM, and consultation liaison to the emergency department and the inpatient pediatric units of the Komansky Center. An intensive day treatment program for school-aged children is located at PWW. Comprehensive outpatient evaluation services and a wide array of therapeutic modalities are offered at both Payne Whitney campuses.
The Pediatric Psychiatry Service at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital provides mental health evaluation and treatment to approximately 2,400 children and adolescents and their families residing in upper Manhattan. The Pediatric Psychiatric Service includes the Diagnostic Evaluation Clinic, the 24-hour Comprehensive Emergency Service, and subspecialty clinics that provide state of the art care and advance the mission of integrating academic, clinical and research resources. In addition to hospital-based service, pediatric psychiatry provides mental health services in community locations, including the Elementary-School-Based Mental Health Program; the Mobile Outreach, Referral, and Education Program; and the Integrated Mental Health/Primary Care Program.
The New York State Psychiatric Institute
The New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), established in 1896, was one of the first institutions in the U.S. to integrate teaching, research, and therapeutic approaches to the care of patients with mental illness. The institute, affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital in 1925, has since experienced dramatic growth and continues to remain on the forefront of psychiatry and psychiatric research.
The Sackler Institutes for Developmental Psychobiology
The Sackler Institute of Weill Cornell was created in July 1998 as the result of a gift from the Mortimer Sackler family to the Weill Cornell Medical College. Since that time, the institute has gained an international reputation for research and training using the techniques of brain imaging, human genetics, electrophysiology, and behavioral methods to study typical and atypical human brain development.
The Sackler Institute of Columbia University, established in April 2001, brings together Columbia scientists from different disciplines whose research interests are in the processes of early development and how these relate to the etiology and treatment of psychiatric illness. Supported by an endowment from the Sackler Foundation, the institute is dedicated to an investigation of the complex processes underlying development at levels ranging from the molecular to the psychological.
Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
Founded in 1767, the College of Physicians and Surgeons was the first school in North America to award doctoral degrees in medicine. The college is one of the nation's primary sources of academicians, investigators, and clinicians.
The Department of Psychiatry, in conjunction with NYSPI, is one of the largest in the world, with over 600 faculty members, many of whom are recognized as the world's leading experts in their field. The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry alone includes over 150 faculty members. Didactics and clinical consultations are taught to residents by leading child psychiatry scholars and authorities.
Weill Cornell Medical College
Weill Cornell Medical College, established in 1898, is a national leader in medical education and is one of the country's leading centers for clinical and medical research.
The Department of Psychiatry within the college has a long and distinguished history of clinical service and research, with over 600 faculty members, residents, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff. Clinical and basic science research activities afford the child and adolescent psychiatry residents opportunities to work alongside national leaders at both the PWM campus and the PWW campus.
Queens Children's Psychiatric Center
Queens Children's Psychiatric Center (QCPC) located at 74-03 Commonwealth Blvd., Bellerose, NY, is a NYS Office of Mental Health facility that provides inpatient services designed to treat seriously emotionally disturbed children in a therapeutic setting where youngsters learn to develop life skills within a structured environment. QCPC also operates day treatment programs located in Queens and Manhattan (Robert F. Kennedy School and Roberto Clemente School) which provide an intensive level of clinical/special education services to youngsters.
