System Member and Affiliate - NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System
In 1995, New Milford Hospital and 15 of its peers in New York and New Jersey affiliated with Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, creating the Columbia-Presbyterian Healthcare Network. At the same time, there were other networks being developed throughout the country and one of those systems was the New York-Cornell Hospital Network.
Columbia-Presbyterian and New York-Cornell had long been recognized among the leading academic medical centers in the world. In 1999, these two great medical centers and their networks merged to become the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System.
