Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian (CHONY) is a pediatric hospital in New York City. Located at 3939 Broadway at West 165th Street in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, it is a part of New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the Columbia University Medical Center. The hospital is named after financial firm Morgan Stanley who largely funded its construction.
Although the hospital traces its roots to the establishment of Columbia University's – then King's College – Department of Pediatrics in 1767, it was officially founded as Babies' Hospital in 1887. At the time of its opening, New York City's hospitals only had 25 beds catering to infants and children. In 1929 the hospital moved from its Lexington Avenue site to Upper Manhattan to become part of the Columbia–Presbyterian Medical Center. It remains affiliated with the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons ("P&S") and many of its physicians are at faculty members of the P&S.
In 2010, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital was the only children's hospital in New York City to be named an Honor Roll hospital by U.S. News and World Report. In 2012/13, it no longer appeared on the Honor Roll, but a of 2016 it is still ranked #13 in pediatric cardiology heart surgery.
The hospital is named after financial firm Morgan Stanley in recognition of the firm's sponsorship of the hospital started under CEO Philip J. Purcell and completed under John Mack. Employees at the firm have been involved with the hospital since the 1990s and personally donated to the construction of the current child-friendly building, which opened in November 2003.
