Overview of Hospital: Montefiore Medical Center, named to honor Sir Moses Montefiore, a famed philanthropist of the time, was founded in 1884 by leaders of New York’s Jewish community. Today, the Montefiore Medical Group (MMG) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the nation comprised of three main divisions -- Weiler, Moses, and North -- located in the north Bronx, as well as many other locations throughout the Bronx and lower Westchester County.
Since 1963 Montefiore has served as the University Hospital and Academic Medical Center for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. Montefiore has been an innovator and leader in the medical community. The Montefiore Medical Center was among the first to offer social services, home health care and social medicine to patients.
Montefiore contributed key research on the transmission of the AIDS disease during the 1980s. The Medical Center's advances with minimally invasive surgery highlight their innovation and dedication to promote greater patient safety and faster healing.
Montefiore acquired Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center (OLM) in July 2008 making Montefiore Medical Center a 1,491-bed academic medical center employing more than 16,000. As a result of the acquisition, the former OLM became the North Division of Montefiore Medical Center. The 369-bed North Division is located in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, adjacent to the Bronx River Parkway.

- Division of Geriatrics inpatient Acute Care Units (ACE Units) -- comprised of 69 beds dedicated to the care of acutely ill patients over the age of 60
- Geriatric Medicine Fellow Program -- In support of the division of geriatrics, this program boasts a near 100% board pass rate since its inception in 1993
