As a proud member of the Northwell Health community, we offer the broadest range of community hospita

Phelps Hospital is part of Northwell Health, the largest health system in New York State. With 1,700 employees and nearly 600 medical staff members representing 60 medical specialties, Phelps offers one of the broadest ranges of community hospital services in Westchester County. Patients benefit from access to the latest technology and advanced procedures performed by distinguished physicians, many of whom are pioneers in their field. Phelps' primary and specialty care medical group, Phelps Medical Associates, has practices conveniently located on the hospital campus and in the surrounding communities. Spine surgery firsts include the first total disc replacement (Charite III) and the first artificial cervical spine disk implantation. In 1969, the first hip replacement in Westchester was performed at Phelps, and in 2005, a Phelps physician performed the first anterior approach hip replacement in the Northeast. Phelps established the first sleep center in the county and has the largest hyperbaric chamber in the Northeast. The maternal child center was the first to provide hearing testing for infants and to offer hepatitis B vaccinations to all newborns. The Phelps Emergency Department, constructed less than three years ago, has 32 private rooms, a pediatric section featuring a playroom, and a dedicated radiology suite. At the hospital’s Hoch Center for Emergency Education, training is provided for EMTs, paramedics, and other healthcare providers. Students come from every corner of Westchester County, indeed, from across the globe to benefit from the hands-on simulation-based training provided at the Center. Plans are under way to establish Northwell Health Cancer Institute at Phelps, bringing together comprehensive cancer services including multidisciplinary treatment, full-service screening, and diagnostic and support services under one roof. The institute’s expert cancer physicians are disease-focused and dedicated to bringing the most advanced treatments to patients.

Excited to announce that we have once again been recognized as an Advanced Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, marking our second re-certification and third overall Gold Seal of Approval®.

This recognition, awarded in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, reaffirms our hospital's dedication to sustained excellence in stroke care.

The Advanced Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center designation indicates that a hospital can treat the most severe ischemic strokes using mechanical thrombectomy, a specialized procedure that removes blood clots from blocked brain vessels to restore normal blood circulation.

This comprehensive care is delivered by a dedicated multidisciplinary team, including neurologists, specialized stroke nurses and rehabilitation therapists, ensuring a seamless continuum from intervention through recovery.

Chief Nursing Officer Amy Matthews recently stepped outside her usual day-to-day responsibilities to experience patient care from a different perspective.

Amy joined our hyperbaric oxygen team for a firsthand look at what goes into this highly specialized form of patient care — from monitoring patients during treatment to learning how the chamber operates to even undergoing some of the procedures herself.

The experience gave Amy a greater appreciation for the incredible teamwork, expertise and attention to detail that goes into caring for our patients each day.

We've earned a Level 3 epilepsy center accreditation by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers.

With epilepsy affecting more than 200,000 people in New York State, the need for accessible, high-quality seizure care is significant. Our hospital's Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, located on the dedicated neuroscience unit, serves four distinct patient populations:

✅ Those with epilepsy who need medication adjustments in a safe, monitored setting

✅ Patients with epilepsy and developmental delay who may have difficulty communicating their symptoms

✅ Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who require monitoring to identify where seizures originate for potential surgical intervention

✅ Individuals experiencing unexplained spells, including episodes of confusion, staring, abnormal movements or episodes of loss of consciousness (Evaluation is needed with inpatient video electroencephalogram monitoring to determine whether these episodes are seizures)
