Campus Information and History
St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center is one of the largest not-for-profit voluntary
hospitals in the country. The Hospital Center was formed in 1979 as a result of a
merger between St. Luke's Hospital, which was founded in 1850, Woman's Hospital
established in 1855, and Roosevelt Hospital, which dates back to 1871. We are a
University Hospital of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and
part of a City-wide health care network, Continuum.
St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center (SLRHC) consists of two clinical sites, serving
the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The St. Luke's Hospital site is located at
Amsterdam Avenue @ 114th Street, adjacent to the Columbia University
undergraduate campus. The Roosevelt Hospital site is located at 10th Avenue @ 59th
Street near Lincoln Center. This area includes the American Museum of Natural
History, Rose Earth Center, Broadway theatres, Central Park, the AOL Time Warner
Center, and innumerable shops and restaurants. This large neighborhood, with over
one million residents from various ethnic and socioeconomic groups, provides a
diverse patient population with a broad spectrum of pathology seen at every stage. In
addition, St. Luke's-Roosevelt provides services to patients from all over the Tri-State
metropolitan area, referred to our highly regarded tertiary care programs.
A Statement from Program Director (Dr. E. Gordon DePuey)
We have designed our program to optimally meet the needs of a practicing Nuclear
Medicine physician. The program combines didactic training in basic science and
clinical Nuclear Medicine, hands-on practical instrumentation and software
experience, interpretive and patient-management skills, knowledge of research
methodology,
and administrative skills. We have received three successive five-year accreditations
by the ACGME Residency Review Committee. Without exception, our graduates have
passed the ABNM examination and are practicing Nuclear physicians or have
continued their training in a related specialty such as Radiology.
