NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital operates the only full-service 24-hour Adult and Pediatric Emergency Department south of 14th Street. It is a 911 receiving hospital and a community Trauma Center, and is also a Certified Chest Pain Center.
Our pediatric hospitalists provide 24-hour coverage for infants, children, and adolescents who come to the ED.
As a Designated Stroke Center, the ED also specializes in the rapid and comprehensive care of patients with symptoms of stroke.
The ED includes designated areas for women, children, and patients with asthma and chest pain. Our ED also includes the largest decontamination unit in the city and is fully equipped to respond to both individual and community-wide emergencies.
Many of our staff are bilingual, and Chinese and Spanish translators are available 24 hours a day. For patients who speak other languages, we have immediate access to language banks and 24-hour translation services.
