History

Hudson Valley Hospital was first founded in 1889 by the Helping Hands Association in the City of Peekskill after a group of women raised $1,800 to purchase property on lower South Street.[2]

The hospital was known as the Helping Hand Hospital until 1911 when it was incorporated as Peekskill Hospital. Later, in 1966 the hospital moved to its current location in Cortlandt Manor and was renamed Hudson Valley Hospital in 1992.

The hospital expanded in 2014 to include a Cancer Center and Emergency Department, among other additions to the infrastructure.[3]
