History

Pediatrics at NYU Langone Medical Center dates back to the merger of two New York-based schools, University Medical College and Bellevue Hospital College merging to form the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1898. [5] NYU long partnered with nearby Bellevue Hospital (Bellevue) to provide pediatric care to the city's children. In 1874, Abraham Jacobi, (now commonly known as the “father of pediatrics”) came to University Medical College becoming the first chief of pediatrics at Bellevue. In 1908, John Howland, became the new chair of pediatrics at NYU and Bellevue. Howland is credited with ushering in the new age of pediatrics. [6]

Before the opening of the current hospital, NYU pediatrics were housed within a 55-bed unit located within the Tisch Hospital adjacent to the current location, and a 30-bed pediatric unit at Bellevue. [7]

In 2011, Children's Health at NYU Hospitals Center was named the Hassenfeld Children's Hospital after board member, Sylvia Hassenfeld of Hasbro, donated $50 million for the hospital's development. [8] [9] [10] On June 24, 2018, the new building for Hassenfeld Children's Hospital opened, making it the newest children's hospital in New York and the only one to open within the past 15 years. [11] The new hospital opened with a multitude of technologies designed to improve patient experience and automate repetitive tasks. [12] The hospital opened with a 30-foot-tall fiberglass sculpture of a Dalmatian dog balancing a life-size taxi on its nose, designed by noted American sculptor, Donald Lipski. [13] [14] Upon opening, HCH became the only children's hospital in New York to feature all single, private rooms. [15] In March 2021, HCH opened an expanded unit for pediatric and adult congenital cardiology on the 7th floor of the hospital. [16] [17] The program is one of three in New York certified by the Adult Congenital Heart Association. [18]

In November 2021, HCH performed its first ever double-lung transplant on a 16-year-old with cystic fibrosis. [19]

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. In the United Kingdom, paediatrics covers many of their youth until the age of 18. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people seek pediatric care through the age of 21, but some pediatric subspecialists continue to care for adults up to 25. Worldwide age limits of pediatrics have been trending upward year after year. A medical doctor who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician, or paediatrician. The word pediatrics and its cognates mean "healer of children", derived from the two Greek words: παῖς and ἰατρός. Pediatricians work in clinics, research centers, universities, general hospitals and children's hospitals, including those who practice pediatric subspecialties.
