Phelps Memorial Hospital Center is a 238-bed acute care community hospital located in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
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.
The mission of Phelps Hospital is to serve our community and provide the highest quality, comprehensive health care available for the diverse populations of Westchester County and the Hudson Valley.
