Before   1925
 

Long before Columbia-Presbyterian was a pioneering medical center, a venerable medical
school and a crusading hospital were New York City fixtures. When the College of
Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University united with Presbyterian Hospital to form
the new medical center in 1928, it brought to the union a 161-year legacy of excellence in
medical education and research.
