Bellevue Healthcare is the NW's premier full-service durable medical equipment provider offering retail, respiratory therapy, complex rehab, and facility services.

Bellevue became the site of the world's first hospital catastrophe unit the same year; the world's first cardiopulmonary laboratory was established at Bellevue by Andre Cournand and Dickinson Richards a year later, and the nation's first heart failure clinic opened, staffed by Eugene Braunwald, in 1952. In 1960.

Affiliated with the NYU School of Medicine, NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue offers a wide range of medical, surgical, and psychiatric services and is a major referral center for highly complex cases.

Bellevue Hospital Medical College merged with the University Medical College of New York University to form the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1898. The combined institutions became the New York University College of Medicine in 1935.
