The Joint Facilities Committee was established as a committee of both the Presbyterian Hospital Medical Board and the Columbia University Faculty of Medicine, more commonly known as the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Its mission was to coordinate space requirements of the hospital and the medical school at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and “to recommend ways and means of obtaining the necessary space to meet these requirements.”
History and Biography
Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center was the term given to the affiliation of Presbyterian Hospital with the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and to the campus which they occupied in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan beginning in 1928. Neither institution gave up their independence as a result of the affiliation. The term began to fall out of use after the merger of Presbyterian Hospital with New York Hospital on Dec. 31, 1997 to form New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
