Housing

In order to take advantage of a mostly home-call system, our house staff are encouraged to live on the Upper East Side — although many choose to live elsewhere in New York City, commute, and stay in call rooms when working overnight. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital does manage several modern apartment buildings within the neighborhood, though many residents secure great, affordable rentals on the Upper East Side independently.
