The Vehbi Koç Foundation (VKV) American Hospital, known locally as Amerikan Hastanesi, is a non-profit private hospital located in the Nişantaşı area of Istanbul, Turkey.[2][3] The hospital was founded in 1920 by Arthur L. Bristol, Rear Admiral in the US Navy, and was initially subsidized by the American Red Cross.[4][5][6]
Prior to its transfer to the Vehbi Koç Foundation in 1994, the hospital's funding included financing from USAID and donations from the likes of Lila Acheson Wallace, co-founder of Reader's Digest magazine.[2]
Today, the hospital serves over 220,000 patients annually at its 60,500 m2 (651,216 sq. ft) site with 278 inpatient beds, 36 intensive care beds, and 12 operating rooms.[2][4] Facilities include an emergency department and helipad.[7][8]
