History edit
It was founded in 1888 as St. Joseph's Hospital by the Sisters of Charity of New York. Thomas Cornell was active in the establishment of the hospital.[2]
In 1976, the hospital opened the St. Joseph's Hospital Nursing Home/Sister Mary Linehan Pavilion to provide nursing care to the elderly. In 2010, it assumed responsibility for St. Vincent's Hospital Westchester, when that institution's parent, the famed St. Vincent's Hospital of Manhattan, closed. 40°55′46″N 73°53′52″W / 40.92944°N 73.89778°W
