About Us

Established nearly a century ago in 1909, Lawrence Hospital Center has a long and important history providing superior healthcare to the residents of Southern Westchester County and its surrounding communities. Expanding to continually meet the needs of a growing and diverse population, Lawrence Hospital Center has launched a major capital improvement project with upgrades and new developments seen throughout the hospital.

On the clinical side, we have recruited an experienced and talented medical and nursing staff with training from the finest institutions in the world. These caring professionals have access to the latest technologies and state of the art equipment to give patients innovative and high tech care close to home.

As an indicator of its growth, Lawrence Hospital Center provides emergency care to approximately 35,000 individuals annually in our newly redesigned Emergency Department. We also deliver approximately 2000 babies each year. New moms and their families will have the opportunity to experience the entirely renovated Maternity Department featuring private rooms and showers when it opens in the summer of 2008.
