History
Richmond University Medical Center was established on January 1, 2007. It is a Level I Trauma Center located in Staten Island, New York. The original hospital on the site, St. Vincent's Hospital, was opened in 1903 as a 74-bed facility under the direction of the Sisters of Charity of New York in what had been the Garner mansion, a mansard-roofed stone building built by Charles Taber and later owned by W.T. Garner (the building had been offered to ex-President Ulysses S. Grant as a retirement home, but Grant and his wife were reportedly put off by a summer swarm of mosquitoes). [citation needed]
The mansion still stands on the grounds. The hospital greatly expanded and modernized over the years, and the Sisters of Charity Healthcare System expanded to acquire the former U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in the Stapleton neighborhood of Staten Island, renaming it Bayley Seton Hospital. In 1999 Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center of Manhattan, originally a separate institution founded by the same sisters, took control of the facility as part of a major restructuring of the overall community of Catholic healthcare facilities in New York. [citation needed]
In 2006, St. Vincent's on Staten Island was sold to Bayonne Medical Center and spun off as Richmond University Medical Center (RUMC).[3]
Although largely non-religiously affiliated, a cross that adorned St. Vincent's Hospital, on its main building, remains; another cross, on the Villa Building, has been removed. [citation needed]
