***** Bellevue is the oldest public hospital in the [[United States]], founded in 1736 in NYC's first permanent almshouse at City Hall Park. It is also presently one of the largest hospitals, with 844 beds, a 25-story patient care facility, an attending physician staff of 1200, and an in-house staff of 5,500. It is regarded a ''safety net hospital'', providing healthcare for individuals regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, handling over half a million patient visits annually, according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellevue_Hospital Wikipedia].
****** It opened the first maternity ward in the U.S. in 1799, and by 1867, Bellevue physicians were "instrumental in developing New York City's sanitary code, the first in the world". The school was founded in 1861, the first medical college in New York, followed by the first nursing school in the U.S. in 1873, based on Florence Nightingale's principles, the first children's clinic in 1874, the first emergency pavilion in 1876, and a psychiatric hospital in 1879, considered "revolutionary" at the time.
