A major tertiary referral center on Staten Island, in New York City, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) is a three-campus, 785-bed hospital center founded in 1861 as the Samuel R. Smith Infirmary. The current main ("North") campus was constructed in the 1970s when the institution outgrew its original site on Castleton Avenue. In the 1980s the institution adopted its current name with the merger of Staten Island Hospital and the Richmond Memorial Hospital in Prince's Bay, Staten Island, at 375 Seguine Avenue, now the institution's South campus. Doctor's Hospital of Staten Island in Concord, Staten Island, 1050 Targee Street, became SIUH's Concord campus in the 1990s. It is currently closed and awaiting renovations. SIUH's North campus is at 475 Seaview Avenue in the South Beach neighborhood of Staten Island and houses the Staten Island Heart Institute, the regional Burn Center, the Nalitt Institute for Cancer & Blood-Related Diseases, and serves as the core training center for the institution's graduate medical education (residency) programs in Internal Medicine, Hematology/Oncology, Geriatrics, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Radiology, Obstetrics/Gynecology, General Dentistry, and Podiatry. SIUH maintains an academic affiliation with the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center College of Medicine whose medical students and residents complete a portion of their training at SIUH. SIUH also operates, in conjunction with Wagner College, a Physician Assistant training program.
SIUH is part of the North Shore-LIJ Health System.
