1929

Presbyterian Hospital and NY Neurological Institute move to Washington Heights together, joined by three other hospitals and Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons: “This was the first joint project in the United States of a medical school and its affiliated hospitals to create an ‘academic medical center’; the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center became the model for other medical schools” (Rowland, 43). . . . in 1937, the Presbyterian managers took control of the Neurological Institute, which became a unit of a general hospital (43, 38).
