Everything about Columbia University Medical Center totally explained
Columbia University Medical Center is the name of the medical complex associated with
Columbia University, and covers several blocks (primarily between 165th and 168th Streets from the
Henry Hudson Parkway to Audubon Avenue) in the
Washington Heights section of
Manhattan. It is home to Columbia's
College of Physicians and Surgeons, College of Dental Medicine, School of Nursing and
Mailman School of Public Health. It is also home to the portion of the
New York-Presbyterian Hospital which was formerly the independent Presbyterian Hospital. The
New York State Psychiatric Institute is also located at CUMC, as are the
Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian and the
Audubon Biomedical Research Park.
CUMC was built in the 1920s, on the former site of
Hilltop Park, the one-time home stadium of the
New York Yankees. The land was donated by
Edward Harkness, who also donated much of the cost of the original buildings. Built specifically to house both a
medical school and a hospital, it was the first academic medical center in the world.
Formerly known as the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (CPMC), the name change followed the 1997 formation of
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, a merger of two medical centers each affiliated with an
Ivy League university: CPMC and the
New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, home of
Cornell University's
Weill Cornell Medical College.
