In 2003, Lenox Hill Hospital embarked on an ambitious campaign to thoroughly renovate and update its Emergency Department. After a multi-million dollar fundraising campaign, the Anne and Isidore Falk Center for Emergency Care at Lenox Hill Hospital opened its doors in January of 2007.

An additional 24,000 patients receive treatment through the Lenox Hill Hospital ambulance service.
