History
The Sisters of Charity of New York founded St. Vincent's Staten Island in 1903. Beginning as a 74-bed facility on a former estate, the hospital witnessed several building expansions, in 1930, 1961, 1978 and, most recently, in 1989, bringing it to its current bed complement of 440. It was the first Catholic hospital in New York State to acquire cobalt therapy for the treatment of cancer; the first hospital on Staten Island to offer diagnostic cardiac catheterization; the first to establish a hospice program; and the first to introduce interventional radiology to Staten Island.
