Elmhurst Hospital, located in the heart of the NYC borough of Queens, serves a very diverse population of more than 1 million. The Hospital is a 545 bed, fully accredited facility, which is also a Level 1 trauma center with more than 660,000 ambulatory patient visits, just under 2,000 live births and over 170,000 emergency visits annually. The hospital is the not only the sole Hospital serving as the primary healthcare facility for the residents of Elmhurst and the surrounding communities, it is the only public facility. As the communities have grown in size, so has the need for the services provided by the Hospital. Elmhurst, being the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, highlighted the importance of this institution not just to the community at large but especially important to the residents that do not have other means of obtaining quality healthcare.
