Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian (CHONY) is the only 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 has a dedicated pediatric emergency department and is named after financial firm Morgan Stanley, which largely funded its construction through philanthropy.
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 as of 2016 it is still ranked #13 in pediatric cardiology heart surgery.
