History edit
The $100 million Brutalist architecture facility opened on October 25, 1976.[7][8] A $12.5 million a year contract with nearby Montefiore Medical Center to provide some medical services was in place at the time.[9][8][10]
In 1977 the hospital began a birth center program that includes midwives.[11] [12] The birth center was renovated in 2013 and re-opened in 2014.[13]
In 2020, the 215 bed hospital began a rapid expansion of 120 additional intensive care unit (ICU) beds to assist the hospital's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The first 20 of the additional beds were opened as a COVID-19 specific ICU on May 5, 2020.[14]
In 2024, North Central Bronx added an employee wellness room to promote emotional health for their staff.[15][16]
