It overlooks the East River.The institution is known for evidence-based clinical care across a wide range of specialties including its five key clinical areas: cardiac and vascular, cancer, musculoskeletal, neurology and neurosurgery, and children’s services.

The hospital was originally named NYU Medical Center, which was changed in 2008 after a $200 million gift from Kenneth and Elaine Langone. Kenneth Langone is the chairman of the board of trustees. In November 2008, $150 million donation was given for the construction of a new patient pavilion in honor of the late real estate developer and philanthropist Martin Kimmel. It was placed on the Honor Roll of U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals" in the nation for 2012-2015, and was named the #12 Hospital in the nation on the 2015-2016 "Best Hospitals" Honor Roll.
